Summary

Ruth and John, who were school chums in their childhood, reconnect after many years when John is leaving to join the Army during the Great War. They are both on a search for meaning and answers, and for God, during this desperate world war. Through their search they again find each other, their God, and love.

Enjoyable romance

I was concerned at first that this would be a formulaic Princess being rescued story but it avoided that!
The characters were a bit stereotyped but God was central & the "hero" and that was well done.
I've recommended it to my daughter, daughter in law and nieces.
