    About this series

    A heartwarming WWII homefront romance from award-winning author Cara Putman

     

    Anna Goodman's mother is dead, her father has given up on life, and her brother is missing in action in World War II. Anna's dreams for the future are held captive by the responsibilities the war and life have thrust upon her. She's desperate to hold the farm together while working at a war factory in nearby Kearney. She can't do it alone. She must interact daily with Specialist Sid Chance, the cocky know-it-all who oversees the German prisoners who work on her family farm—prisoners that are a constant reminder of her father's harrowing experience in World War I.

     

    As Sid gets to know the determined Anna, he must balance her mistrust against his desire to help farmers. With so many able-bodied men deployed around the world, the prisoners' labor is essential to save local farms from ruin. He must also battle against prejudice from men like Anna's father, who can't stand their presence or the memories they force him to relive. Sid wants to protect Anna, if she'd only let him. Anna's as skittish as a colt, but he's determined to win her heart.

     

    When the farm's future is at risk, Anna must decide whether she can trust Sid with her heart…and her future.

      A heartwarming, award-winning love story, Canteen Dreams sweeps readers into WWII through a small town, homefront romance. In the aftermath of Pearl Harbor, Nebraska schoolteacher Audrey Stone can't just sit by and watch as the country races to war. Instead, she's determined to do something that matters to support the war effort. When her community starts a canteen at the train station, Audrey spends nearly every spare moment there, offering food and kindness to the soldiers passing through. She never expected to fall for a local boy…or face the challenges of budding love in the face of war. Rancher Willard Johnson admires Audrey's passionate nature, but when his brother is killed in action, he feels he must avenge by enlisting himself. His father insists he stay at home and Uncle Sam seems to agree, but Willard is praying about what he should do. Can Willard' and Audrey's budding relationship weather the storms of war? For a sweet, heart-warming love story that is based in part on the author's grandparents and her hometown, read Canteen Dreams.
