Anchor in the Storm 
"Anchor In The Storm"
Sarah Sundin

America has just entered WWII and Lillian's brother, Jim is in the Navy.  Lillian Avery has just finished Pharmacy School and is on her way to Boston for her first job as a full fledged pharmacist.  But her new boss is quick to tell her that she was hired only because all the men are at war.  He is not happy to learn of her handicap either.  

Because of her handicap, and something that happened with an old boy friend, she doesn't trust men.  Her brother Jim's best friend, Archer, sets out to change her mind.  

Meanwhile Lillian begins to notice a lot of prescription for barbiturates being filled, but is told that the doctor knows what he is doing.  However, Lillian's conscience won't let her do this.  She decides to try to solve the problem herself and ends up in danger.  

Will she survive?  Can Arch ever earn Lillian's love and trust?

*************************************
I thoroughly enjoyed this book as I do all of Sarah Sundin's books.  I loved the fact that she has a theme to the book - Jesus is our Anchor in a time of storm and how her dad gave her an anchor necklace to remind her that Jesus is our Anchor, our Hope in any storm, our Refuge.  This spoke to me so much that I bought an anchor necklace for myself.

Westward Wedding Journey

Delsie Radford is going to make it to California, no matter the danger or difficulty. Her father may have kept her and her sister apart, but Delsie refuses to miss her sister's wedding—even with only eighteen days to get there. And she's found the perfect escort in Pony Express rider Myles Patton.

Myles can't believe it when a pretty socialite hires him to take her cross-country through rough terrain and dangerous territory. Surely she'll quit before they reach their destination—he's known girls like her before. But the longer they ride together, the more Myles notices Delsie's toughness and kindness beneath her polished exterior. And though they may be worlds apart…they might just be perfect for each other.


 

**********************************
This was a beautifully written story that involves a lot of adventure, trust, love and experiencing the unknown.  At first I thought that this would be a book that just dragged on and on, but it was the exact opposite.  Stacy Henrie knows how to write in such a way that keeps her readers hooked till the very end.  

Deslie's faith in God was strong and consistent.  She wanted Myles to share her faith, but she didn't judge him because he didn't or push him into being something he wasn't ready to be yet.  She waited patiently and her reward was worth the wait.  

I was a bit concerned about how it would turn out.  Of course, the guy and the girl always end up together at the end, but this one kept me guessing until the very end.  And what a beautiful end it was!  

Anyone who enjoys reading historical fiction with adventure and romance should read this book.  You will love it!  

I will be looking forward to reading more books by Stacy Henrie.
