Sonja.Hoeke.Nish7358 | Dec 3, 2021 |   Thanks to Revell Reads, I received a copy of Love Comes Home and the opportunity to provide an honest review. I was not required to write a positive review, and all the opinions I have expressed are my own. (  ) hes7 | May 1, 2019 | And I do believe I have found another AMAZING genre I’m going to get sucked right into! In the past, when I’ve read Historical fiction or crime fiction – the one bit I was missing was the “Inspirational” and I never really saw how much that affected my opinion. But now that I have discovered the depth of emotion and the complexity of the characters Inspirational authors put into their novels, I am not even tempted to read most secular fiction. If you really need some kind of a crazy hook to make your book good – it’s not really good! And Ann H. Gabhart is GOOD! I felt like I was there! And I’ve never been much for history – of course history books are not written like this so that may have a little bit to do with it – but I could almost hear the church bells, feel the sticky pavement and smell the sweet, clean air as “Love Comes Home” opens with Ann’s main characters taking turns telling this fabulous story! Ann has a talent for delving deep into emotion and it doesn’t take very long until you feel pulled right into the story of these sisters and their reactions to the end of World War II. I don’t know what it feels like to lose a husband in the kind of conflict WWII created but thanks to Ann Gabhart, I can easily imagine it. Whether you enjoy WWII fiction or not, DO NOT miss this book! I have a feeling it is one I will read again and again for years to come – along with her other books that I will now be on the hunt for so I can catch up! I received this book free in exchange for an honest review. ( ) JCMorrows | Aug 25, 2015 | Set in Rosey Corner, Kentucky just after World War II ends, Love Comes Home is the third book in the Rosey Corner series by Ann Gabhart. I received the book to review and had not read the first two books. Love Comes Home can be read as a stand-alone novel, but it is so good that I now want to read the entire series! The Merritt sisters are the main characters in the story. Kate married her husband, Jay, before he was shipped overseas to fight in the war. They married quickly. Now that the war is over and Jay is home, Kate wonders if she truly knows her husband. Evangeline (Evie) is married to Mike, who was a preacher before the war and a prisoner during the war. They have a solid marriage...or do they? Evie struggles with the changes in Mike. He isn't the same man she fell in love with. Victoria (Tori) married Sammy before the war. They have a daughter who will never know her father because Sammy will never be coming home. Tori suffers unbearable heartache over the death of her beloved husband, but knows she must go on for the sake of her child. She must keep Sammy's memory alive. The youngest sister is Lorena (Birdie) who is a teenager and was adopted. She is an endearing character who deeply loves her adopted family, yet longs to stay connected to her roots. The war has changed everyone. It will take much understanding and faith to rebuild the lives of those in this family. The characters are strong and the story is inspirational. I highly recommend this deeply moving novel. I received this book from the publisher, through The Book Club Network (bookfun.org) in exchange for my honest review. ( ) PamelaJo | Aug 7, 2014 | Historical Fiction I fell in love with Rosey Corner, Kentucky when I met the Merritt family who lived there. The sisters, Kate, Evie, Tori and Lorena have grown up. World War II is over, and the boys are coming home. The girls are still very involved with each other, and even living in their own homes, I learnt to know the adult versions in a new way. I saw sister interaction and reaction clearly and it gave me insight to other sister relationships I have encountered. Ann does a super job of writing in such a way that her readers can identify with one or more of her characters and feel a bound with them. I have read the other two novels about the Merritt sisters in Rosey Corner, ANGEL SISTER, and SMALL TOWN GIRL but if you have not, do not let that keep you from reading this one. It can stand on its own. I think you will want the others, too, and I know I am hoping there will be atleast another one in the series. I received this book free from Emily Davies-Robinson at Nuts About Books and Revell Publishing Group in exchange for an honest review. A positive critique was not required. The opinions stated are my own ( ) mbarkman | Jul 31, 2014 |
 World War II has ended. Two of the Merritt family's four daughters are happily awaiting the return of their husbands after years of being separated by the war. Sadly, one of the Merritt girls will not be greeting her husband along with the others. Her husband died in the war, leaving her to raise her young daughter without a father. Merritt family ties are strong, and the family gathers together in rural Rosey Corner to celebrate, accompanied by extended family in the community. This post World War II novel is rich in history and the flavor of a rural community where neighbors are family, and everyone's business is public knowledge. At this time in history people truly cared for one another, and shared in the joys and sadness surrounding them. Young families were excited and determined to move forward with their lives, although nightmares of war haunted many young men. There were obstacles to overcome and fears to be conquered, but the support of strong families and friends is paramount in this compelling story. Acceptance is a strong theme throughout, as well as faith, hope and unconditional love for one another as a family pulls together to support one another in love and life. Ann H. Gabhart has a gift for creating stories of human interest that go far beyond a simple story. She creates in-depth characters, rich in faith and compassion. Her writing contains a wealth of human emotions that grips the reader by its intensity. Life is not watered down. These characters are true to rural American communities. "Love Comes Home" is a memorable book of diversity in personalities and a family love so strong that nothing can break their ties to one another. I highly recommend this book! I had not read the first two books in this series, but I certainly will now! Disclaimer: I received a copy of this book from Revell in exchange for my honest review.

The family circle seems quite close in this time period, which I can still remember from my youth, as well. Life today seems to be on a different path so it was nice to see the family circle as portrayed in this story. Each sister has her own story to live and experiences, good and not so good.
It's a Christian romance story and was very good, as are all this author's books.
