About this ebook

The Wortham family has been tested through hard times of injury, illness, and loss. But with the world on the brink of war, they are about to be tested again. And this time, they'll face the ultimate test: one of courage and survival.

Just days after the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, Robert Wortham and Willy Hammond enlist. As they head off to fight, their families are left behind to deal with fears of what lies ahead for their beloved brothers and sons. Armed with their faith in God and a bold prayer from Robert's girlfriend, Rachel, the Worthams and Hammonds can only hope for peace, strength, and a greater understanding of God amidst this cruel conflict that could forever change the future of both families.

The continuing story of the Wortham family and book 2 in the Country Road Chronicles, Rachel's Prayer is a powerful saga of courage and faith during the Second World War.

    This was a story that I shed a few tears over while reading it. The Wortham family continues to be tested through hard times. In this story the world is in the beginning of war and it will be a test of courage and survival as Robert Wortham and Willy Hammond enlist and go off to war. Before they leave their families, they all meet at the railroad station and Robert's girlfriend, Rachel, offers this prayer, "God give us peace in this time of being apart, make us stronger, and give us a greater understanding of Himself". That is what the Wortham and Hammonds will have to do; find hope for peace, find strength and find a greater understanding of their God amidst these times that will forever change the future of both families. Frank Hammond finds himself not able to go to war and has to stay home, helping with both farms with the help of Sarah. These two will find a special friendship that will also change these two. But there is nothing easy during this time and both families will struggle with tragedy in different ways.Once again this author has written a gripping saga of two very different families who bind themselves together through thick and thin. I am very impressed how each story makes you feel these folks are real and by now you feel a part of them and feel their pain and experience their joys. Can't wait to begin "Sarah's Promise" next in this series. I say go back and read in the order they were written to get to really know what these families have endured.
