A beautiful collection of novellas. The stories captivating, heartwarming and sweet. I loved how characters and mentions of characters from the previous novella spilled into the next. I loved how faith, love and sacrifice were portrayed in each novella. Even though they are novellas, they weren't fast paced or hurried. The authors took their time to weave inspiring stories.

Highly recommended.

I received a copy of this book and this is my honest opinion.

I enjoyed reading all four of these novellas, and I liked how they were connected. I reviewed all four novellas individually on other sites, but my review might have been too long to share on this site. I do recommend this book.

I was provided a copy of these novellas through NetGalley. I wanted to read and review it. All opinions are my own.

I enjoyed this book with four stories spanning over 100 years featuring a necklace handed down through the generations reminding the ladies that God is faithful.

More Than Gold by Carolyn Miller: Josephine Wilkins is a brave woman who leaves America in 1851 to travel with her brother to the gold fields in New South Wales. She has no idea of what she will face.

The Veil by Kelly Goshorn: In 1877, Caroline Wilkins is burned in a fire and dons a veil to cover her face. She runs away from her cruel but wealthy father and determines to never show her face until she is married. Franz Kohler rescues Caroline and brings her home to his parents but Franz and Caroline both are afraid to share their secrets.

Running From Love by Angela Couch: Anna Kohler has left her home and country trying to protect her brother from the law but Mounted Police Constable Benjamin Cole comes into the picture!

Lauren's Song by Cara Putman: You will learn more about America's secrets on the Outer Banks of North Carolina during World War II. I'm fascinated by this period of time.

I received a complimentary e-book of Across the Shores. This is my honest opinion.

Review of novella by Cara Putman

Loved this sweet novella about Lauren, who is struggling to take care of herself and her younger sister since their brother left home to join the Coast Guard. John, a member of the Coast Guard, promises to help Lauren when she needs help but stubborn pride prevents her from asking. When her brother disappears while on duty, Lauren's defenses break and her heart softens. Upon returning to faith in God, she realizes she wants John in her life and begins to ask for help. Will Lauren have time to reach out to John or it is too late?

I recommend this story to anyone who loves a HEA. I received a copy of this novella from the publisher. My review is my opinion and is given of my own free will.

Cara Putman's Love Along The Shores:

1942 Ocracoke, Outer Banks, NC. An area in the US that was under siege during the war, where U-boats were sinking our ships. The Coast Guard was constantly on the alert there. Lauren is a native of the island, John, a friend of her brother, is stationed there. Events bring them together that they have to work through, each with a strong faith of their own, in the country's and area's defense. Interesting story with lots of depth, although a small part of it. Very much looking forward to more of the stories in this collection!

I received this book free from the author, publisher and BookFunnel book review program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
