Something was missing

I felt this book kept missing the point.
How can someone go from brave and courageous to basically afraid of their own shadow.
The book seemed to be full of “how can”
I liked most of the interaction with the kids but even here there were “how can she do that?”
I liked the spotlight on the military and the sacrifices the dependents make. I also loved the parts focusing on God.

Army Life, Fear, and Faith

Widow Anna Morgan, has kept mostly to herself since her soldier husband was killed seven years earlier. Dedicated to raising her son, Travis, Anna, has given up flying helicopters and retreated to her “fall back” job of being a hair stylist, until she happens to meet her neighbor’s brother at a New Year’s Eve party . . . and share a kiss at midnight. Months later, when the couple, who have two sweet kids, are suddenly killed in a car accident, the brother, Nick Peterson returns to learn that the couple have named him as guardian of their two young daughters. But Nick is a soldier, stationed in Germany. How can he possibly take care of two kids? As Anna helps Nick in the interim with the girls, their attraction grows. But Anna holds fast to her mantra: Never fall in love with another soldier. And Nick is faced with his own fears and his plan to remain a bachelor and put his military career first. This is a sweet, clean and faith filled listen. You won’t want to miss it.

Such a lovely story of courage

Anna had lost her military husband leaving her with a young son. Nick had lost his brother and sister-in-law to a car accident leaving him with two young nieces. Did Anna have the courage to love a military man again. I loved this story of love and courage.

Anna's Courage

This story gripped me from beginning to end! I laughed and cried. Great story about love, loss, forgiveness, and courage!

Loved The Story

Anna's Courage by Kristin Fischer is a love story that makes you believe in love the second time around. Anna is a military widow raising her son on Rose Island amidst a host of in-laws and her parents. She has decided that she will live a safe life and stops flying helicopters and is hyper diligent with her son. Her next door neighbors throw a New Year’s Eve party and she meets his brother and share a kiss then runs away. A year later the brother is back due to the tragedy of losing his brother and sister-in-law in a car accident. They have left him in charge of their ten year old daughter and less than eighteen month old daughter. He has never wanted kids because his mother abandoned him and his older brother and his father was a present in body but absent in spirit father and he does not believe he can be a father. The story goes on from there. They are thrown together in his effort to take care of the girls and suddenly they are running into each other or calling on each other for help. Both fighting what seems to be what both need. Each other.
Nick tries to get the girls adopted but can’t let them go and he procrastinates constantly. He finally has two experiences that let him know he not only can’t let the girls be adopted but that he needs and wants God in his life. Anna realizes that she is the witness that God is using to help bring Nick back to Him and also to provide the girls a stable home and reunite with his father.
My favorite quote from the story is “You can’t outrun God. When He wants you He will get you.” The whole story made me more aware of my faith walk with Christ. God is with us even when we try to run away and He is always loving on us.
