MY REVIEW:
The ‘Love Finds You’ series by Summerside Press has provided a wealth of information about the featured location of each book. This volume set in Victory Heights, Washington highlights women in the Seattle area and their efforts to contribute to the war while their men are off fighting it. Rosalie is a riveter in the Boeing plant and soon finds herself the center of unwanted attention when she breaks a plant record. She fights her attraction to Kenny because of unresolved guilt and unpleasant family memories. Kenny has his own inner conflicts that further complicate their romance.
Love Finds You In Victory Heights, Washington is a fabulous story with so much detail about the Seattle, Washington area, an inside look at the airplane plant, and the lives of the women who kept things going. Club scenes, dance and clothing descriptions, period slang, talk of rationing, and many other details made the story come alive.
Love Finds You In Victory Heights, Washington is one of the absolute best novels I have read about the WWII years. This is one book that is definitely worth picking up. I highly recommend it.

ABOUT THE BOOK:
The war has stolen Rosalie’s fiancé, Vic, from her forever. But rather than wallow, Rosalie distracts herself by cramming her days full of activity—mainly by shooting rivets into the B-17 bombers that will destroy the enemy.
When a reporter dubs her “Seattle’s Own Rosie the Riveter,” even more responsibility piles up. Her strong arms bear all this, but when intense feelings surface for Kenny, the handsome, kind-hearted, and spiritually unwavering reporter, the fear of losing another love propels Rosalie to leave.
It’s only when Rosalie realizes that God has brought her to this place—and this person—for a reason, the sparkling grace of God compels her to let go of her own strength and lean on His, as well as open her heart to love.
