It
is the summer of 1945 and the war is almost over. Delilah, age
thirty-four, had lost her husband of fourteen years to a massive
heart attack. Unable to make it in Chicago, she had returned to West
Virginia, living with her sister and family.
Wanting
to help out with the finances, Delilah gets a job at a store in town.
Robert has never married and before long it looks like romance might
blossom.
This
novella is pure romance. There is man likes girl and girl likes man
but issues arise. One is an emphasis on children being the reason for
marriage. Robert can't have children. Another issues is an old flame
who returns to town. She's been abandoned by her husband and has
children, something Robert has always longed for.
Delilah
is a well developed character but I thought Robert was a little flat.
Yes, the story is predictable but then, such is the case with
romance.
This
is a free prequel to the novel releasing in August. You can download
the free Kindle file here.
