by Jenna Brandt
Wars don't happen just on the battlefield. One woman will fight for her future with the man she loves.
Before America entered the Great War, Karen and Adam were set to be married but everything was put on hold when Adam was conscripted to join the military. After being forced to return to a life Adam tried to leave behind, he is taken prisoner. Karen, along with her family, wait in Sweet Grove, Texas, hoping and praying Adam will return to the family. After his return, the couple must face new obstacles to find their happily-ever-after. But Adam and Karen are not the only ones affected by the war. Neighbors and friends in Sweet Grove have their own battles to fight, struggles to overcome and victories to achieve.
From bestselling author, Jenna Brandt, comes a story about the first World War and the lives of the people in Sweet Grove, Texas during it. The era of WWI comes to life in the descriptions of volunteer rationing, victory gardens and war committees.
Love's Mending Embrace shows how the power of love and faith can overcome the tragedies of war and how one woman's loving embrace can mend a soldier's wounded heart.

Have you ever found yourself in a bad or difficult situation and you had absolutely no idea how you were going out of it? Well that is exactly how Adam finds himself at the beginning of this story. He is being held prisoner by the Germans and being tortured by someone who he thought was his friend. He knows that he cannot and will not reveal the information that they want, and just when he thinks he is at the end of his rope something miraculous occurs. Adam's faith and trust in God kept him going, and helped him to remain strong even when things were unbearable. There are so many things that we can learn from this beautiful story about depending on God and trusting Him no matter what. Just as Adam and Karen realized we too must remember that God is always there for us. I really enjoyed this story in the First Street Church series. My only complaint about this book is that it was too short. I want to continue on Adam and Karen's journey and find out what happens to them and the people in Sweet Grove.
I received a complementary ebook copy of this book from the author in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.
