A Shelter from the Storm
Dr Nelson Winters may have overcome the Spanish Influenza but it left him crippled and out of the clutches of the woman he once thought loved him. He’s come to a new town to start over and when he sees Mildred he knows where he wants to spend his life, if only his liability didn’t keep him from asking.
Can Mildred and Nelson stop looking at the past long enough to see the wonderful future God has set before them?
Review: A Shelter From the Storm is a sweet romance full of the promises of God’s love.
While not my favorite novel, mostly because it was so sad and stress filled, it is a good book.

Hott Review:
Way back in 2013 I borrowed Sundays in Fredericksburg from NetGalley but couldn’t read more than a page or two before putting it down to pick up something “more exciting”. Recently, though, I picked it up again and couldn’t put it down.
I loved how they connected the stories! I think just that makes this one of my favorite novella collections. Though sometimes the timing of the novellas threw me off & I had to go back and review how old everyone was…
