Love Finds You in Victory Heights, Washington by Tricia Goyer and Ocieanna Fleiss
Genre: Christian Historical Romance
Pages: 320 Trade Paperback
Date Published: July 1, 2010
Publisher: Summerside Press

The Second World War has stolen Rosalie’s fiancé from her.

But rather than wallow, Rosalie throws herself into her work at the Boeing plant in Victory Heights, shooting rivets into the B-17 bombers that will destroy the enemy. A local reporter dubs her “Seattle’s Own Rosie the Riveter,” and her story lends inspiration to women across the country. While Rosalie’s strong arms can bear the weight of this new responsibility, her heart cannot handle the intense feelings that begin to surface for Kenny, the handsome reporter. Fear of a second heartbreak is a powerful opponent—but will it claim victory over love?

Can I say it again? Summerside Press is awesome and at it again. So far almost every Christian Historical that I have read from these guys has just about sucked me in until I was able to accomplish the whirlwind of reading through another romantic adventure (even with the AppleBlossom distractions). Last year or so I was suppose to review Love Finds You in Lonesome Prairie, Montana but it never arrived and I was pretty close to devestated as far as book expectations go. So when Love Finds You in Victory Heights, Washington came around also from Tricia and Ocieanna I was ecstatic!

Let me tell you first how much I love the cover. It just tells so much of the story right there. During World War II, life in America was different for women than it had ever been and this is a great fun and loving read for such a hard time period. The characters flow off the pages and make this an enjoyable end of summer read or for anytime.

Getting engaged is a difficult enough decision, and then with your heart unsure and sending a man off to war… It’s a question I always wondered how it could be portrayed in a story and it was a great story. Rosalie is “Rosie” of the time and quite an inspiration.  The language of the time and place are fascinating and this book is a great one to fall into the pages of as a journey for a little escape.
