Grace

War Brides #4

by Linda Ford

From a fan favorite author with more than one million books sold, a heartwarming inspirational romance in the WAR BRIDES series:

Grace has only been married for a year, but she’s already a failure. Why would a war hero love a woman who can’t cook? And she’s terrified of mice--to say nothing of flying in an airplane. What did Billy ever see in her, anyway?

Billy decides to use his experience as a Great War flying ace to start an air-taxi business. He can’t understand Grace’s reticence about his new business. Why can’t she be happy for him--for them?

When tragedy strikes, a secret from Grace’s childhood is revealed. Now Billy will see just how unworthy and unlovable she is. Can Billy’s love be a mirror of God’s grace? And can Grace learn to accept both?

About the author

Linda Ford grew up devouring books and making up stories in her head—often late at night when she couldn't sleep. But she hadn't planned to write. Instead, she dreamed of running an orphanage. In a way, that dream came true. She married, had four homemade children, adopted ten and lived (at times, endured) the dream.

Writing first took her to non-fiction human-interest articles for newspapers and eventually a non-fiction book about tuberculosis set in the 1930s and 1940s (Touched By The White Plague). But romance had always been her first love and she turned to writing love stories. She is multi-published in the CBA market.

She lives on a small ranch in Alberta, Canada, where she can see the mountains every day. She and her husband continue to enjoy their children and grandchildren.

Grace and Billy

Grace and Billy moved to the wilds of Alberta so he could fly for living. Grace had to learn to do everything because she had led such a sheltered life. She struggled to feel confident because she felt responsible for her mother's death, and to blame for every bad thing that happened. God showed her she had to trust Him with the future and be at peace. This last book in the series dealt more with feelings of worthiness and how Grace's faith grew.

[Barb Hagan]

Short easy read. The book is about a young couple who marry after the first world War and settle in Canada. Billy was a pilot during the war and he buys a plane. He makes his living at air shows and fairs giving people rides in his plane. He also provides transport for hire. His wife Grace has lived a very sheltered life and struggles with her self esteem. The book shows how the couple grow their faith in God as they face struggles in their lives.

[Phylisha Stone]

An OK read centered around a young man from Canada who flew planes during WWI and a young, very sheltered woman from England who met and then married after the war.

Good

This was a good series overall. At first the main character Grace got on my last nerves. But her character grew and overcame obstacles.

Disjointed

[Audrey]

It did hold my attention. It was a little on the hokey side. The dialogue could have been better but it was an okay read.

Another great Linda Ford historical fiction romance shortly after WWI.
