World War II is finally over and the people of Rosey Corner are busy welcoming the boys home. The Merritt sisters in particular are looking toward the future. Kate is eager to start a family and live out her dream of happily ever after with Jay. Evangeline wants a beautiful house and encourages Mike to pastor a big-town church. Victoria wants what can never be–a life with a man who will never come back. And little Lorena is growing up and wondering more and more about her birth family.
Through the heartfelt storytelling of bestselling author Ann Gabhart, readers join these endearing characters as they walk an uncertain road. Each sister must learn to hold her plans with a loose hand, trusting that God will guide and strengthen them as they share the joys and sorrows of life in their little corner of the world.
If you enjoy stories with realistic characters, fervent love, desperate doubts, and faith that encounters heartbreak, you’ll adore Love Comes Home by Ann H. Gabhart. After reading it, I feel as though I have a whole town of new friends, and I look forward to visiting again in the rest of the Rosey Corner series.
From devastation of war-torn Europe to the peaceful town of Rosey Corner, the author’s settings and characters are believable. They doubt, they love, they lose. And they persevere, together. This book brought tears to my eyes and joy to my heart.
I was given an e-copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion, and I unreservedly award it five stars.
