Description
If you like the novels of Deanne Gist and Lauraine Snelling, you’ll love USA Today bestselling author Stacy Henrie’s inspirational romance set against the backdrop of World War One!
Even
at a young age, Ada Thorne knew that she would marry only for love, never
money. So when she finds herself irrevocably drawn to Ned Henley, the lowly
gamekeeper on a neighboring estate, she defies her parents and society by
eloping with him to London to build a new life.
Without
her family’s support, life in the city is far more difficult than the one of
ease and privilege Ada has always known. She’ll find herself relentlessly
tested in ways she never imagined—especially when Ned, answering the call of
duty, enlists to serve his country in World War One.
Alone
and near poverty with a child to raise, Ada’s resolve will be strained at every
turn. And as she struggles to remain true to her convictions and live life on
her own terms, Ada will embark on a journey of courage, faith, and love that
will surpass even her own humble dreams . . .
“Stacy
Henrie possesses superior storytelling skills, her historical accuracy and
attention to detail are unsurpassed, and she knows how to create characters we
can identify with and whom we really care for.” —Fresh Fiction

Trisha R, Reviewer
While this story starts out a bit slow, it doesn’t waste time with needless information. It wasn’t too long before I was enveloped in the story and drawn along into the lives of Ada and Ned.
Ada exemplifies a tremendous amount of resolve to not only leave her parents, and the life of comfort and ease, but also to step out in faith. Ada learns to lean on God through the good times and the bad times, and she comes to understand that bad things happen to us all, but the universal truth is that God never leaves us.
This story is set in the early 1900’s England, and goes thru the time of World War I. Readers will gain an intimate glimpse of what life may have been like for those in London during the air raid and bombings. As well as how the war changed the workforce in England, as more women joined the workforce.
I would highly recommend this poignant, well-written story to anyone who enjoys not only reading stories about WWI but also stories with strong heroines. I give this robust story 4.5 stars and I look forward to reading more from Stacy Henrie in the future.
(I receive complimentary books for review from publishers, publicists, and/or authors, including Netgalley. I am not required to write positive reviews. The opinions I have expressed are my own.)
