A refuge at Highland Hall - Carrie Turansky

The
Great War shakes the world of a spirited young woman and the brave British pilot
she loves, taking her from London to her family's magnificent country estate,
and sending him into the war-torn skies over France.

Penny
Ramsey has always considered Highland Hall her home, but when Britain becomes
involved in World War One she travels to London to assist her sister Kate with
the eight orphan children she and her husband Jon have taken into their home.
Doing her part for the war effort takes priority over Penny's dreams of romance
until she meets Alex Goodwin, a Royal Naval Air Service pilot in
training.

Alex
is determined to prove his worth and do his part to defend his country. Knowing
he is heading off for the dangerous assignment of chasing Zeppelins across the
front line in France, he feels it's unwise to form any romantic attachments. But
he can't help admiring the pretty, warmhearted Penny and wondering what it would
be like to find her waiting when he returns home from the
war.

As
Penny writes to Alex, their friendship blossoms, and she becomes his tie to home
and normalcy as he faces the hardships war. But being an RNAS pilot means
confronting the enemy, and the fallout from those experiences push Alex beyond
Penny's reach. Can God mend the brokenness left by the losses of war? Will faith
and forgiveness bring them together again?
