In Times Like These (Women of the Heartland) (Volume 1)

By Gail Kittleson

Description:

Pearl Harbor attacked! The United States is at war. But Addie fights her own battles on the Iowa home front. Her controlling husband Harold vents his rage on her when his father's stroke prevents him from joining the military. He degrades Addie, ridicules her productive victory garden, and even labels her childlessness as God's punishment. When he manipulates his way into a military unit bound for Normandy, Addie learns that her best friend Kate's pilot husband has died on a mission, leaving her stranded in London in desperate straits. Will Addie be able to help Kate, and find courage to trust God with her future? This extraordinary literary writing classically captures the mindset of the 1940’s. Addie and her friend Kate reflect the voices women hear as they face confusing dilemmas even seventy-five years later—my first read kept me up into the wee hours. I will refer my readers to In Times Like These! Patricia Evans, Author of The Verbally Abusive Relationship, Controlling People and other books listed at www.VerbalAbuse.com

Book Takeaway:

Fear lays claim on our hearts and minds, but false beliefs can be amended. Though the power of personal friendships, individuals can claim their God-given dignity.

Why the author wrote this book:

For those on the journey to claiming their God-given personal power, this story offers hope, while revealing much about the beginning months of World War II.
