Love finds you in Victory Heights, Washington by Tricia Goyer and Ocieanna Fleiss
Love finds you in Victory Heights, Washington by Tricia Goyer and Ocieanna Fleiss
About Finds You in Victory Heights, Washington: The war has stolen Rosalie’s fiancĂ©, 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.
My Take: I have never read anything by either of these authors but will be looking out for other books by them. I loved reading about a woman who stepped up during a trying time in our country's history to do what needed to be done. I don't think enough has been said about these women during that time in history. Of the course the added romance was a bonus. A Great book that teaches us to rely on God.
