Description
Generations of secrets unfold as a young college student learns the truth about her great-grandmother’s World War II heartbreak and love. For fans of Francine Rivers and Karen Kingsbury.
Brianna Hastings’s life seems dull and full of disappointment until a handsome young man visits her church. She’s instantly smitten by the charming Greg, who leads an exciting, independent life—the kind of life she longs for. But when a college history assignment forces Brianna to interview her great-grandmother about life during World War II, she can’t believe it when Daisy presses her with questions about Greg’s character. “What sort of man is he? Who is he at his core?”
What could her great-grandmother possibly know about love at first sight?
The questions take both women back to Boise, Idaho, in the early 1940s, when war emphasized how fragile life could be. Daisy and her older sister pine for the same handsome bomber pilot—until one night of terrible judgment reveals their true characters and drives them apart. Trying to protect the people she loves the most, Daisy condemns herself to live a lie.
In the years that follow, as Daisy grapples with the consequences, she receives unexpected grace from a man she’s known her whole life but never looked at twice. Could what she learned about love save Brianna from heartache three generations later?

My Thoughts:
Oh what an absolutely beautiful and well-written read. This is the first book I read by Robin Lee Hatcher and surely won’t be my last. The biggest highlight for me here was the faith based elements to it that were so heartfelt. This is a story of God’s mercy and and His grace, and it was just so incredibly wonderful to follow these threads throughout the book. As a whole this story and the characters were so genuine, and it made me enjoy every minute spent with it. The main characters here truly were memorable and a delight to come alongside! A beautiful love story and so much more, I cannot recommend this book more. It was tender and heart-warming and had so much to offer by way of what makes for a fantastic historical fiction read.
Many thanks to Thomas Nelson and NetGalley for the gifted e-copy!

This was a gripping and heart-tugging tale of a woman's sin and redemption, and her great-granddaughter learning the story for the first time. I don't recall as much of Breanna's story line, but Daisy stood out as a delightful character, and so did the young man who loved Daisy. Nothing about this story came easy for the characters, but the arc to see them mature and grow was so well drawn.
The tale is also filled with delightful WW2 era details and atmosphere. Can you tell Daisy was my favorite character? Yeah. Definitely, despite her making choices that made me want to shake her awake! I couldn't put it down until she'd learned her lesson and found a satisfying ending.
Content: 16+ for theme of sex outside marriage and its consequences, but not shown graphically.
Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for a free reading copy. A favorable review was not required.
