Any additional comments?

I am new to Lynn Austin books and took a chance because I was interested in the home front during WWII. The story telling is excellent. The characters are developed masterfully--subtly drawing the reader into a tale of strength, change in adversity and the importance of finding friendship in unlikely places. Austin repeatedly shows how things are not always as they seem on first glance. Ideas of roles, expectations and preconceived notions are examined through the daily lives of the characters. It was a positive, redemptive story that was honestly told and completely engaging until the end. A pleasure.

Well-written, but...

Lynn Austen is a superb writer and the story is engaging. The audible version is first rate because Christina Moore is the best! My only problem with the book is the underlying theme that a woman should be strong, even going against her husband's will if she thinks he is being unreasonable. I kept waiting for Austen to show in her story that a wife's submission to her husband was good and right, but she never did. That would keep me from recommending the book, but it doesn't take away from the fact that the book is well-written

Honoring women during WWII

I enjoyed the mixing of the 4 women together. My mother worked at an army base while my dad was serving in the war so it was a personal story for me.

Lynn Austin does it again...wowed

Every story is filled with wonderful characters and exciting plotlines. I couldn't get enough of this storyline, I always am sad to hear The End.
Ms Austin works in the spiritual aspects masterfully with perfect timing .

Outstanding Book & Performance!

In every way I loved the story! And the narration was the absolute best!!! I can't wait to listen to the next book! Take care and God bless you all!!!
