Customer Reviews

What a great book!

I have to admitt that I had never read a Christian Fiction book before I read "Written on the Wind" by Judith Pella. The main reason that I bought it was that it was set during World War 2. But after starting the book, I was very sorry that it me so long to read it. Ms. Pella is truly a great writer that is able bring the characters to life. She is also is able to show that during war-time faith is something that is needed for survival. This is a book that should not be missed and I look foward to read the other books in the "Daughters of Fortune" series!

Exellent Book!

I loved this book so much! I got so involved with the characters and I felt I was right there with them during all of their struggles. It was so hard to put it down! I ended up reading half of the book in 1 day. I kept trying to put it back but I had to find out what was going to happen next. Each character has a very developed personality and you can almost feel like you are them. I especially loved Cameron's story!

Excellent Reading

I don't read historical, romantic fiction too often, and I have enjoyed this book and the series as well. I think it was well written and kept you thinking about the next in the series. Isn't that the point for the author? I have just finished book three in the series and now have to wait.. only disappointment is the next release is 2005..

I Loved this Book

As a writer, I am greatly disappointed in others' reviews stating that books in a series should stand alone, which I agree with, but also that the end left one unsatisfied, which I heartily disagree with. As a writer, you must leave plots unfinished so you may continue with your series. I do not wish to anger anyone with my opinions, so hopefully everyone will understand.Personally, I loved the characters and felt that the conflict in their lives was good. One needs conflict to keep another interested. The conflict revolved around everything: family, lovers and ex-lovers, politics, everything that is essential to our very beings was in this book, which is completely important. I am sorry to be so passionate if I seem so, but I do enjoy a good read, and Judith Pella is an outstanding storyteller. Five Stars for Written on the Wind!

great read

Great book. Can't wait for the next in the series. This book opens in 1941. War looms in Europe, with Hitler gradually invading European countries and then Russia. But in southern California, the war is far away. The United States is not involved. Although FDR has pushed a lend-lease program through Congress to aid Britain and the Allies, the American public has no desire to enter the war. But the war will touch the focus of this book which are the three daughters of newspaper publisher Keagan Hayes. His oldest daughter, Cameron, goes as a reporter to Europe to cover the war. Cameron has to fight to be accepted as a reporter due to her gender. I don't want to give anything away, but I will just say that this is a very enjoyable book.
