We’re heading into a new weekend and I hope that some of you can find a few hours to pick up a new book. Don’t miss this new title, A Distant Melody, by debut author, Sarah Sundin. At the risk of sounding like a complete romantic sap, I have to tell you that am head over heels for this achingly beautiful story.
Here is the description from Sarah Sundin’s website: Never pretty enough to please her gorgeous mother, Allie will do anything to gain her approval–even marry a man she doesn’t love. Lt. Walter Novak–fearless in the cockpit but hopeless with women–takes his last furlough at home in California before being shipped overseas. Walt and Allie meet at a wedding and their love of music draws them together, prompting them to begin a correspondence that will change their lives. As letters fly between Walt’s muddy bomber base in England and Allie’s mansion in an orange grove, their friendship binds them together. But can they untangle the secrets, commitments, and expectations that keep them apart?
A Distant Melody is a story rich in romance and historical detail and laced with the amazing sacrifice and courage of those fought in WWII and of those left behind. It is the first book of the Wings of Glory series put out by Revell. A Memory Between Us is scheduled for September of 2010 and Till Blue Skys Return (working title) for the Fall of 2011.
The only question for me is — how am I ever going to wait that long?
Wow! Thanks, Karen! I’m so glad you enjoyed Walt & Allie’s story. And I’m so glad I finally got to meet you! You’ll be glad to know A Memory Between Us is right on schedule – I’m going over the final galleys now.
Thanks for stopping by, Sarah. Yes, get to work on those galleys because I’m waiting to read more!
