February Book Club



I just posted my review on Facebook for last months book... The Tiger's Wife by Tea Obreht.
Overall... 3 stars!

I am really enjoying my kindle. I love the convenience of downloading free books.

So now... onto this month's book:

February's Book: 
While We're Far Apart by Lynn Austin

In an unassuming apartment building in Brooklyn, New York, three lives intersect as the reality of war invades each aspect of their lives. Young Esther is heartbroken when her father decides to enlist in the army shortly after the death of her mother. Penny Goodrich has been in love with Eddie Shaffer for as long as she can remember; now that Eddie's wife is dead, Penny feels she has been given a second chance and offers to care for his children in the hope that he will finally notice her and marry her after the war. And elderly Mr. Mendel, the landlord, waits for the war to end to hear what has happened to his son trapped in war-torn Hungary. 

But during the long, endless wait for victory overseas, life on the home front will go from bad to worse. Yet these characters will find themselves growing and changing in ways they never expected--and ultimately discovering truths about God's love...even when He is silent.

This book was recommended to me by my sister-in-law awhile ago. She commented that the author Lynn Austin has several good books.  I have wanted to read this book for a very long time. I finally was able to get it on my kindle. I have started it... and will give my review for this book on my Facebook page on March 6, 2014.

Are you reading any good books? What are some of your recommendations??

Happy Reading!
Carrie
