About this audiobook
How long can two people stand on the brink of love without plunging in headfirst?
In the autumn of 1941, rumors of war whisper through Rosey Corner. The town practically vibrates with apprehension, as if it is holding its breath. But for Kate Merritt, it seems life is letting out a prolonged sigh. As Kate watches her sister marry the man Kate has loved since she was fifteen, her heart is silently breaking. And even the attentions of Jay Tanner, the handsome best man, can’t draw her interest.
Then suddenly, Pearl Harbor changes everything and Kate finds herself drawn to Jay in surprising ways. Could she truly be in love with him? And if he enlists, will she ever see him again?
In her gentle and textured style, Ann H. Gabhart tells a timeless story of love, sacrifice, and longing that will grip your heart and stir your spirit. Fans of Gabhart’s Angel Sister will love seeing Kate Merritt all grown-up, as well as other characters they have come to love.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It was rich and reminiscent of a time, not so long ago, where church and family and community was so connected and supportive of each other.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I loved the story and narrator. I just hated how it ended. Most of us who read these books can pretty much figure out how they end. And that's the part we want to know the most about. Too much time spent exaggerating over the two main characters. And when the end did arrive, we just had a " And they lived happily ever after". No one knows if Jay went to war after all! No one knows what happened to Mike ? How did the family react to the ending, etc .
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Well read with distinctive voices giving an accurate picture of southern life in 1941...so very different from today!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Captivating story! So well written and narration was also amazing. Really brings you there in post WW 2 setting and the aftermath of Pearl Harbor. Highly recommend.
