SEW IN LOVE collection, Reviewed by Trixi Oberembt

Sew in Love by Jacquolyn McMurray, Debby Lee, Kimberley Woodhouse and Darlene Panzera
I've always enjoyed Barbour novella collection books and “Sew in Love” is no exception! I only knew two authors in here but happily discovered two new ones. Another thing I love, being introduced to writers I would have never known had they not been included in the set. These are always a win/win for me!

The stories take place from 1850 to the end of WW2 in 1945. The most modern one was Debby Lee with “Tailored Sweethearts”. I haven't read too many war time stories as they aren't my favorite, but I really enjoyed this one. I admired Captain Irving Morgenstern in his unselfish devotion to his squadron and heroism in the face of danger. Stella McGovern did what she could to bring comfort to injured military men in the hospital where these two met. From there, it was love at first sight! They both clung to their faith when things were bleak and encouraged each other in difficult times. I really like the historical details Debby Lee included in her story, bringing it to life in my mind.

All the stories showed how love can conquer all and faith can get you through most anything in life. Enjoyed these very much!
