Wonderful inspirational romance reading

The English Garden is an anthology of Christian romances by four very talented writers. The four novellas are set in or around a garden theme and span from medieval time to modern day. Great reading for a lazy spring afternoon as you relax in the warm sun.DiAnn Mills, in her marvelous easy-to-read style, weaves a tender romance between Margaret Walker and Lieutenant Andrew Stuart. Set in the midst of Germany's air raids on London during World War II, A FLOWER AMIDST THE ASHES blends an engaging story of two people caught in the realities of war with authentic historical and cultural accuracy.In ROBYN'S GARDEN, Kathleen Y'Barbo tells of the struggles of Robyn Locksley and Travis Gentry to understand each other and blend their American and English cultures. Memorable supporting characters make their journey through an English garden to each other one you won't soon forget. Gail Gaymer Martin offers a delightful glimpse of Victorian English society in her APPLE OF HIS EYE. You'll love Sarah Hampton as she wins the love of her life, "Big John" Banning, in spite of the fact that he's not of her social class.Jill Stengl's A WOMAN OF VALOR portrays Helen Walker's journey through trying circumstances and personal phobias to Oliver. Set in medieval times, Helen's courage and unfaltering faith is inspiring.All four of these novellas, though set in four different eras, provide wholesome romantic stories to affirm God's perfect plan for each of us in His garden that we call life. I'll certainly be watching for other titles by these talented writers.
