Small Town Girl

A Novel

How long can two people stand on the brink of love without plunging in headfirst?

In the autumn of 1941, rumors of war whisper through Rosey Corner. The town practically vibrates with apprehension, as if it is holding its breath. But for Kate Merritt, it seems life is letting out a prolonged sigh. As Kate watches her sister marry the man Kate has loved since she was fifteen, her heart is silently breaking. And even the attentions of Jay Tanner, the handsome best man, can’t draw her interest.

Then suddenly, Pearl Harbor changes everything and Kate finds herself drawn to Jay in surprising ways. Could she truly be in love with him? And if he enlists, will she ever see him again?

In her gentle and textured style, Ann H. Gabhart tells a timeless story of love, sacrifice, and longing that will grip your heart and stir your spirit. Fans of Gabhart’s Angel Sister will love seeing Kate Merritt all grown-up, as well as other characters they have come to love.

romantic & moving

I loved this sweet story of romance. The characters were fun & uplifting. I enjoyed the Christian element in the story, the questions people struggle with in their faith & the way God answered. I especially loved Fern & Birdie & the humor in the story.

Heartwarming

Wonderful historical fiction with real life faith struggles! I love the characters and I can't wait for the next part of the series!

Awesome book!!

Really enjoyed this book!! I would love to live in the world of Rosey Corner forever.

Loved this book

This is the 3rd book I’ve listened to by Ann Gabhart. She’s a wonderful author. I do wish she could continue on a few more chapters of the story, with an epilogue. Will not be the last book I listen to by her. Very much worth listening to. The narrator did such an excellent job.

I loved the personalities of each of the characters.

This book was very exciting. The great character personalities made me laugh and wish I knew them.
