Contemporary Fiction
Every Storm
Back of the Book:
1945—Rigg thought about his ideals as he’d entered the war. He’d told the Lord he was up for anything. He told God and his family that if he had to lay down his life for his country, he was willing.
What he hadn’t banked on was an island in the middle of the South Pacific and an American woman, the lone survivor of a plane crash, found nearly starved to death. He was supposed to be working alongside men. He was supposed to be commanding them, getting the war fought, and sending them all home alive.
He hadn’t figured on a woman with huge brown eyes, probably close to his own age, whose family must be sick with worry for her and whose vulnerability was almost more than his heart could take.
He’d given everything to the war. Now, can he find a hidden gift in these desperate circumstances?
My Review:
This book started off very thrilling. I was fully enthralled with the story as the events of the plane crash and rescue unfolded. It was filled with adventure and suspense.
What I did not care for was how slow the rest of the book went. It seemed to drag on and on and on. I understand that Lorri Archer needed time to recover and mourn the loss of the plane crash victims, but it seemed to drag on forever. I suppose that this is what it’s like when you lose someone close to you. It takes a long time to climb out of the despair and hurt to carry on with life.
This book would probably be good for someone who has lost a loved one and needs the encouragement that things will get better. Life turns out wonderful in the end.
