Love Along The Shores by Cara Putman

 

1942 Ocracoke, Outer Banks, NC. An area in the US that was under siege during the war, where U-boats were sinking our ships. The Coast Guard was constantly on the alert there. Lauren is a native of the island, John, a friend of her brother, is stationed there. Events bring them together that they have to work through, each with a strong faith of their own, in the country's and area's defense. Interesting story with lots of depth, although a small part of it. Very much looking forward to more of the stories in this collection!

The Runaway Bride by Jody Hedlund

1862
I was so glad to return to the Bride Ship Series. These girls enter your heart and you want only the best for them. You don't need to read the first book in the series before this, but you'll want to. In each, the characters search for God’s purposes and plans for them, and find strength in His courage. And they're thoroughly entertaining, keeping you engaged and holding your breath to the end. This story is about Arabella, a wealthy girl who had good reason to run away from her betrothed and go on a Bride Ship to seek a new opportunity on Vancouver Island, where men far outnumbered women. Pete was a baker there, with a love for the native population in the area. He battled the injustice of the English navy stationed there, controlling a smallpox outbreak by denying vaccinations to the natives and scattering them, wiping out much of their population. There are always people who see injustice and fight to expose it, but that doesn't mean it's easy. These people struggle to do what is right in God's eyes and persevere.
