"Homefront Promises.": Love in the Margins of time (Series 2, Book 4)

By Wayne J. Gombar

Homefront Promises (1946-1950)
A poignant tale of love lost, life rebuilt, and the quiet courage of starting over.
In the summer of 1946, Ellie Jennings is a widow in her thirties, doing her best to raise her young son Charlie in the familiar hills of rural Virginia. The war has taken more than just her husband-it's left empty chairs at dinner tables, silence where music once played, and the lingering ache of what might have been. Ellie has tucked her dreams away, finding solace in routine and memory.
When Jimmy Baldwin, a recently discharged Navy corpsman, returns to his childhood hometown seeking a new beginning, his path crosses with Ellie's in the most unexpected of ways. Gentle, grounded, and carrying his own invisible wounds, Jimmy is drawn to Ellie's quiet strength and the spark she's tried so hard to hide. Slowly, carefully, he begins to fill the spaces left behind-offering Charlie a mentor, Ellie a friend, and perhaps all of them a chance at something more.
But opening your heart after loss takes more than time. It takes faith. And forgiveness. And the kind of courage not found on any battlefield.
As seasons pass and daffodils bloom, Ellie must choose between holding on to the life she's known and embracing the one that's waiting. Together, she, Jimmy, and Charlie begin to build a new home-one stitched together with laughter, healing, and the promise that even after everything falls apart, love can grow again.
Spanning the years after World War II, Homefront Promises is a deeply moving story about second chances, the resilience of family, and the redemptive power of love.
