A Distant Melody by Sarah SundinMy rating: 💛💛💛💛💛
This was another great WW2 story by Sarah Sundin. Being her first novel, this was at a high standard. I had such a great time with Allie and Walter and their story.
Sometimes you meet two people (fictional or real) and just know they are meant to be. That was the feeling when Allie and Walter first met, however, War and family expectations threw a few challenges at them.
I loved how faith was such an integral part of the story and how Allie was woken in the evenings or early mornings to pray for Walt.
There were times where I was worried that they will not get their HEA.
I loved meeting Walt’s family and am looking forward to getting to know his brothers in this series.
