"Of all the birthdays Livy could recall, this one would certainly go down as the most memorable - but for all the wrong reasons.
Ironic, she thought, smoothing the skirt of her blue silk taffeta dress for surely the hundredth time. I always thought turning twenty would be special."
Opening paragraph - HOPE AT DAWN [Of Love & War #1]
by Stacy Henrie
{releasing June 24th}
In a Time of War, Love is the Inspiration.With her brothers away fighting the Great War overseas, Livy Campbell desperately wants to help her family. Her chance comes when she meets a handsome stranger who lands her a job as a teacher in a place far from her parents' farm. But the war casts a long shadow over theGerman-American town that Livy now calls home—and the darkness will test everything she thought she knew about family and love . . .
I found my own twentieth birthday rather "un-special", it was just another birthday! This sounds like a really interesting read, I love the idea of Livy wanting to help her family! Thanks for sharing :) My Intro Juli @ Universe in Words

Well that's a different way to look at birthday parties; I'm curious as to what is happening or leading up to this being the most memorable birthday! Thanks for sharing and for stopping by my blog; have a wonderful week! :)
This sounds like my kind of read...and I love that it's the start of a series. Thanks for sharing.

A bit of a sad start to her birthday. I do like the setting of the novel.
ReplyDeleteSounds interesting. I don't read much historical fiction. This week my teasers come from The Quick by Lauren Owen and Dark Metropolis by Jaclyn Dolamore. I go from Victorian Vampires to futuristic zombies. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteLooks like an intriguing historical fiction. I would read on.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty cover! I'd definitely read on. In fact, I'm adding it to my TBR now!
ReplyDeleteToday I'm featuring The Vacationers by Emma Straub.
