Sherrill and Alan, lifetime friends, have always known they belonged together. But when Sherrill is invited to New York to visit her wealthy relatives and Alan is offered a chance to travel to Egypt and take part in an important archaeological dig, the offers seem like the chance of a lifetime.
But there is more to these offers than meets the eye. Sherrill’s aunt has her own plans for her niece, plans that would horrify Sherrill if she knew; Alan must decide if he will sacrifice his family for his career.
Are these the real “chances of a lifetime” they appear to be? Or will Sherrill and Alan miss their chance to learn what true happiness is? (summary and photo from Goodreads)
The fight he got wasn’t the fight he wanted.
It’s 1780, and North Carolina is a battleground. Backcountry scout Benjamin Woodbridge is guarding a Patriot camp when he sees the king’s men pursuing a civilian. Never one to stand by while someone is in trouble, Benjamin steps in to help the stranger and finds an unexpected ally.
But the same British officer who targeted the stranger is also targeting Benjamin’s settlement. After Benjamin is wounded on a lonely mountain trail, he watches Sunrising fall to the man who crushed his father’s cause nine years earlier. Benjamin’s fight has come home to the very people he wanted to protect—his shy younger sister and the woman who has given them both a home.
Now, with the help of some unlikely comrades and the indomitable Aunt Kate, Benjamin must fight for what he loves before his settlement goes up in flames. But only if he can fight himself first.
For fans of Christian historical fiction and tales of bravery and redemption, Patriot at the River is a must-read filled with engaging characters and biblical truth. Read now and step into an adventure of faith and freedom.
“I do not believe to live through this war; I have seen too many die to tell myself otherwise. I can be careful, but what is that? I am going to fight.”
A fighter pilot ready to die. A girl whose world has crumbled. A city bombed and broken. A country struggling for existence.
As a Polish fighter pilot serving in the RAF, Pilot Officer Jedrick Ondraski does not expect to survive the war with Nazi Germany; he only wants to avenge his family and homeland before he dies. But when he meets Helen Smith, a young American woman, during an air raid on a dark London street, the encounter forces him back into the world he has renounced. A marriage of convenience seems to be the only way for him to provide her a home and a life after the bombing that destroyed her tranquil home. Helen, destitute and alone, clings to him for help and comfort; but when he joins his squadron in aerial battle with the very enemy who destroyed his own country, there seems little hope of a future for either of them. As the Luftwaffe aggressively targets civilian London, the whole country braces for a Nazi invasion. And in the blackout of the London Blitz, two young souls reach out for life, love…and the One Who can lighten their darkness.
The first WWII historical novel by author and historian Sarah Brazytis, ‘Lighten Our Darkness’ will take you to the bombed streets of London, the barracks of the RAF, and the flak-riddled skies of the Battle of Britain.
