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.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Love Finds You In Victory Heights, Washington<\/strong><\/em> 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,\u00a0 talk of rationing, and many other details made the story come alive.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Love Finds You In Victory Heights, Washington<\/strong><\/em> 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.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Contest:<\/strong> Tricia is giving away 5 Victory Prize packs during the blog tour.\u00a0<br \/>\n <a href=\"http:\/\/triciagoyer.blogspot.com\/2010\/08\/win-victory-prize-pack.html\">http:\/\/triciagoyer.blogspot.com\/2010\/08\/win-victory-prize-pack.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">You can purchase your own copy of Love Finds You in Victory Heights, Washington\u00a0 here:<br \/>\n <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Love-Finds-Victory-Heights-Washington\/dp\/1609360001\/ref=sprightly-20\">http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Love-Finds-Victory-Heights-Washington\/dp\/1609360001\/ref=sprightly-20<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Other Bloggers on This Tour: <\/strong><br \/>\n http:\/\/www.litfusegroup.com\/Blog-Tours\/love-finds-you-in-victory-heights-washington.html<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"divider2\" src=\"..\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/divider21.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"399\" height=\"52\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>This book was provided for review by <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>Amy Lathrop and LitFuse Publicity Group.<\/em><\/strong><em> <\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>ABOUT THE BOOK:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/LFY-Victory-Heights1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-5515\" style=\"margin: 10px;\" title=\"LFY Victory Heights\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/LFY-Victory-Heights1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"258\" height=\"402\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/LFY-Victory-Heights1.jpg 289w, https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/LFY-Victory-Heights1-96x150.jpg 96w, https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/LFY-Victory-Heights1-150x233.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 258px) 100vw, 258px\" \/><\/a>The war has stolen Rosalie\u2019s fianc\u00e9, Vic, from her forever. \u00a0But rather than wallow, Rosalie distracts herself by cramming her days full of activity\u2014mainly by shooting rivets into the B-17 bombers that will destroy the enemy.<\/p>\n<p><br class=\"spacer_\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When a reporter dubs her \u201cSeattle&#8217;s Own Rosie the Riveter,\u201d even more responsibility piles up.
