Love Finds You

The Love Finds You™ series was launched in October of 2008. Summerside Press releases two new books in the series every other month, with the goal to set at least one novel in each of the fifty states. Each novel has a word count of around 80,000, and the stories may be historical or contemporary. One goal of the series is to give readers a taste of local life across America, so each novel draws on the compelling history or unique character of a real place. Plot details remain as faithful as possible to the town’s history, geography, and atmosphere.

I was privileged to be asked to read and review Love Finds You In Victory Heights Washington by Tricia Goyer and Ocieanna Fleiss.

Here's a bit about the book: The war has stolen Rosalie’s fiancé, Vic, from her forever. But rather than wallow, Rosalie distracts herself by cramming her days full of activity—mainly by shooting rivets into the B-17 bombers that will destroy the enemy.

When a reporter dubs her “Seattle's Own Rosie the Riveter,” even more responsibility piles up. Her strong arms bear all this, but when intense feelings surface for Kenny, the handsome, kind-hearted, and spiritually unwavering reporter, the fear of losing another love propels Rosalie to leave.

It’s only when Rosalie realizes that God has brought her to this place—and this person—for a reason, the sparkling grace of God compels her to let go of her own strength and lean on His, as well as open her heart to love.

I really loved this book. It's a light read but there's a lot of historical information that is very interesting. The authors descriptions made me feel like I was there as Kenny and Rosalie were dancing, feeling the emotions of the war rallies and helping as Rosalie volunteered her time with the soldiers. I highly recommend this book.
