About the Book
This
collection of novellas, set in County Surrey, England, features both historical
and contemporary stories by new and old authors!
Springtime in Surrey
contains the following eight novellas:
Jesus, I Am Resting by Faith Blum
Elinor Chapman, an orphaned laundry woman, must fight to
survive after WWI breaks out. She prays her beau doesn’t die on a foreign
battlefield like her father did 14 years ago. She is forced to take on nursing,
but her passion for helping other orphans distracts her from this job, leaving
her little time for rest. Will she run herself into the ground … or will she
learn to rest in Jesus?
The Cottage on the Hill by Andrea Renee Cox
During every teatime at her cottage hideaway, Moira
struggles to discover hope amongst her lost ballerina dreams. Unsettled by
elusive goals of his own, sheep farmer Adrian observes his uncle’s neighbor
crying into her tea and wonders why… and what he can do to cheer her up. While
facing their regrets, can Moira and Adrian trust that God has a good plan
despite crushed dreams and far-off hopes?
If I Knew You Were Coming by Bailey Gaines
With her husband off to war and two evacuee children staying
in her home, Joan feels duty-bound to contribute to the war effort via her
participation in the Women’s Land Army. She is thrilled to learn that her
husband has leave. But when the London Blitz ruins her plans to see him, Joan
must decide what is most important in her life: her contribution to the war
effort or her calling as a mother?
Her Heart’s Home by Grace A. Johnson
Forced from her childhood home after her father was killed
in action, Meredith Tate is forced to seek employment at the Deepdene Hotel
until she discovers the next step. Which most certainly does not include the
brooding Captain Trevor Seaton, a guest who always manages to catch her at her
worst. Despite his gentle magnetism, Meredith is determined not to fall for a
military man—but God may have other plans.
The Tussie-Mussie by Katja H. Labonté
Caitrìona is determined to rescue her family from poverty by
making a brilliant match. She is on the verge of success when her brother is
arrested for a sensational crime. Banished to the country, she meets Ewart, a
fearful recluse with a younger sister in need of aid. Ewart and Caitrìona grow
together through shared goals—but as mysteries are uncovered and characters
tested, what truth will be revealed?
The Odd Duck Society by Rachel Leitch
Jessamy Aubertine is too much for her university classmates,
too little for her overstressed mum, and nothing in between. Then a mysterious
letter signed by Jane Austen brings her back to her family’s fading tea shop
and a pair of unlikely comrades. Will they find the letter writer—and perhaps
discover themselves along the way? Or will their friendship fade with The
Muses?
Fear Not Tomorrows by Erika Mathews
Hardworking Margaret Enfield is thrilled with her engagement
to her lifelong best friend Lester. When his brother’s sudden illness forces
Lester’s prolonged and indefinite absence, every tomorrow feels bleak to
Margaret as lonely drudgery overtakes the once-rosy springtime. As she throws
herself into her tasks, can she learn to trust her tomorrows with Jesus—one day
at a time?
Courage to Stay by Kellyn Roth
Rosalind finds herself engaged to Matthias after her former
fiancé, his brother, perishes in battle. Determined to forge a connection, she
embarks on a risky mission. When Matthias retreats into his own turmoil on a
hunting trip, Rosalind disguises herself as a man and follows him to the
forest, vowing to fight for their love. Will Matthias summon the courage to
stay, or will his fractured mind drive them apart forever?
