LOVE FINDS A HOME is an anthology of three historical novellas that deal with how love triumphs over the loss of a mother, a lifetime of rejection, and grief for a wife. Each story tells of finding room for love in spite of the heartaches and situations of each of the characters.

Glenna Moore is Daddy's Girl. It has just been the two of them for a long time. When her gambling, card-cheating father is shot dead in front of her, she has no one to turn to and no place to go. Comforted by a young minister on the train, she begins to have feelings for him and his feelings are reciprocal. Without much forethought, Rev. David Green proposes to Glenna and, without much forethought, she accepts. After all, the letter in David's pocket from the church he will pastor says they look forward to meeting his wife. Now he has one, but will Glenna know how to act like a pastor's wife? Will she find the home and a lifestyle she has never had?

Judith King is tall with creepy eyes, one brown and one blue. People have always made fun of her looks. How will her new class of children see her? She has never felt she could be loved by any man because of her appearance. But when widower Ernie Snyder, a canal boater during the warmer months, brings his children to her classroom, a spark of hope ignites something between them. Judith and Ernie are as different as her unmatched eyes. When his daughter, Grace, has an accident, he suddenly feels the need for a wife and instantly asks Judith to marry him. Can she give up her teaching position and become an instant wife and mother?

Dan Fisher still manages his late wife's used toy store, Twice Loved. He promised her he would not close it, but he needs some help. Bev Winters has just been released from her bookkeeping job after World War II when the men came back and reclaimed their previous jobs. She lost her husband in this war and needs a job to get by and raise her little girl. When she goes into the toy story to ask for a job, there is an immediate connection between her and Dan. Both can sense it, but neither wants to act on it. Would starting a new relationship be fair to the memory of their lost loved ones? Could they love twice?

Wanda E. Brunstetter has given us a beautiful trio of historical stories that will warm your heart. The historical aspects of each story could perhaps have actually happened in the time period of their settings. LOVE FINDS A HOME is a quick read and a real delight.
