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!

A Heart Adrift by Laura Frantz

 

Captivating...right to the end. A nice long read to sink into. Set in the early days of the French and Indian war. Esmee is the daughter of an Admiral that had spent much time at sea. She has been estranged from her friend Henri for 10 years, parting as he went to sea as she didn't want to be married to someone, like her father, who was also married to the sea. She kept busy as a businesswoman, running the chocolate shop that her mother had started and also doing charity work at the local almshouse. When Henri came back, she slowly realized how much she cared for him, just as he was called to set sail again - working for the government against French ships. So well written, it's very real. Frustrating and heart wrenching at times, and a truly lovely love story. As satisfying as the best chocolate! Lessons of Christian faith are wound throughout.

Whose Waves These Are by Amanda Dykes

"So many stories. In this pocket of a harbor where broken lives, like waves upon the shore, are gathered up and held close."

Set in Maine starting before WW2, on the coast, in the uppermost corner, near Canada. A rugged, weather worn area of strong people. This is a story that grabs you right in the first few lines, and gives you a perfect image and feeling of what is to follow. Layer upon layer of beautiful life, heartbreak and again beauty. Such depth of feeling. Weaving through time - back and forth together. Perfectly woven. A story so richly told that you can almost see God's hand around them. Christian Historical.
