Book Review--WITH EVERY LETTER by Sarah Sundin (free book)


If you haven't read Sarah Sundin's World War II novels, maybe you should. This writer knows her history, and she knows how to put it together in a way that makes it a joy to learn about this period in time.

With Every Letter is a story about a Filipino-American nurse, a young woman certain her exotic looks make her an object of scorn and someone to be shunned. She avoids friendships, especially with men. The only time and place where Mellie feels at ease is when she's singing to and caring for patients, war victims.

Her head nurse believes in her, but knows nursing takes teamwork. She has given Mellie an ultimatum--make friends or go home. So Mellie tries. In addition, Lieutenant Newman tells Mellie she must write anonymous letters to one of the homesick engineers. Reluctantly, she agrees. The letter she writes is thrown in the trash by the man who receives it.

One of the Engineers, Tom, doesn't like the letter that comes to him--the writer seems too flamboyant for him--but he sees the one dumped into the trash and exchanges his for that one. The woman seems a perfect match for him--not wanting any attachment, only friendship and anonymity.

When circumstances of the war throw them into the same area, that anonymity is threatened. They have revealed too much of their inner thoughts, fears, and hopes. Now what?

With Every Letter and other books by Sarah Sundin can be found on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Christian Book Distributors. In addition, Ms. Sundin is offering one free copy of another book she wrote, On Distant Shores, to one lucky commenter below.

I love Sarah Sundin's work. I've read her Novak brother series and I've read With Every Letter and On Distant Shores as well. She is such a talented author and can't wait for her next one to come out.
