Sarah's Latest Book Release - Anchor in the Storm
For plucky Lillian
Avery, America’s entry into World War II means a chance to prove herself as a
pharmacist in Boston. The challenges of her new job energize her. But society
boy Ensign Archer Vandenberg’s attentions only annoy—even if he is her brother’s best friend. During the
darkest days of the war, Arch’s destroyer hunts German U-boats in vain as the
submarines sink dozens of merchant ships along the East Coast. Still shaken by
battles at sea, Arch notices his men also struggle with their nerves—and with
drowsiness. Could there be a link to the large prescriptions for sedatives
Lillian has filled? The two work together to answer that question, but can Arch
ever earn Lillian’s trust and affection?
In Anchor in the Storm, Lillian Avery is excited to move to Boston to
start her new job. For this Midwestern girl, another appeal of the big city is
better access to her culinary favorite—Chinese food. Since I share Lillian’s love
of Asian cuisine, here’s a Sundin family favorite, Cashew Pepper Chicken. Purchase the book HERE.
