White has become one of my favorite authors so I was so pleased to have the chance to read and review her latest novel, <strong>On Wings of Devotion<\/strong>. It was everything I expected and more.<\/p>\n<p>I have enjoyed this author&#8217;s tales set during World War 1 so much. My generation seems to see and hear more about WW2 so I certainly appreciate White&#8217;s research and attention to this neglected era. I loved reading about the codebreakers and their essential service to winning the war. The details provided made it much easier to understand how necessary the behind-the-scenes people help win wars. I also love how the characters develop throughout the book. Phillip Camden was a believable hero whose personal grief has him believing his country&#8217;s accusations against him. And Arabelle&#8217;s character touched my heart with her longing for a family of her own and her keen insight into hurting people that helped her to see past what others could see.\u00a0 Arabelle and Phillip were a perfect match and it was gratifying to watch them grow closer to each other and to the Lord as He directed them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>On Wings of Devotion<\/strong> is a wonderful story with a steady plot, plenty of action and intrigue, some quite humorous interludes, and of course a satisfying romance. I recommend this book as well as every other book this author has written. Thus far the Codebreakers series has been amazing and I look forward to the next installment!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10857\" title=\"divider2\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"317\" height=\"61\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2.png 317w, https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2-150x28.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 317px) 100vw, 317px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book provided by the author and Bethany House, a division of Baker Publishing Group.

But he would have preferred to die that day with his men rather than be recruited to the Admiralty&#8217;s codebreaking division. The threats he receives daily are no great surprise and, in his opinion, well deserved.<\/p>\n<p>As nurse Arabelle Denler observes the so-dubbed &#8220;Black Heart,&#8221; she sees something far different: a hurting man desperate for mercy. And when their families and paths twist together unexpectedly, she realizes she has a role to play in his healing&#8211;and some of her own to do as well.<\/p>\n<p>With Camden&#8217;s court-martial looming, an old acquaintance shows up, intent on using him in a plot that sends the codebreakers of Room 40 into a frenzy. With their fragile hopes for the future in the cross hairs, Arabelle and Camden must hold on to hope&#8211;and to each other&#8211;if they want to survive.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/cdn.bakerpublishinggroup.com\/processed\/book-resources\/files\/Excerpt_9780764231827.pdf?1574089104\">Read an excerpt here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>ABOUT THE AUTHOR:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><b><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-25106\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/White_Roseanna.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"290\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/White_Roseanna.jpg 290w, https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/White_Roseanna-109x150.jpg 109w, https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/White_Roseanna-150x207.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 290px) 100vw, 290px\" \/>Roseanna M. White<\/b> (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.roseannamwhite.com\">www.roseannamwhite.com<\/a>) is a bestselling, Christy Award-nominated author who has long claimed that words are the air she breathes. When not writing fiction, she&#8217;s homeschooling her two kids, designing book covers, editing, and pretending her house will clean itself. Roseanna is the author of a slew of historical novels that span several continents and thousands of years.
