Hero's Bride

By Jane Peart

Book Overview

"You see I must go, don't you, Kitty?" Kip asked. Everything in her cried out, No, I don't understand. What about her dreams, her desires, the life they had planned together? Then she remembered the epitaph on the head-stone in the old hillside cemetery, the one that had made such a lasting impression on her: "What I gave, I have; what I spent, I saved, What I kept, I lost." It had been true a hundred years ago, and it was just as true now. If she did not let Kip go freely, he would go anyway, and she would lose him. You could not keep what did not want to be kept. Eventually Kip would be lost to her unless--"Of course, Kip, I understand." When Kitty Cameron, in love with the dashing Kip Montrose, is forced to accept the dangerous career he has chosen for himself, she faces a difficult challenge. In order to follow her heart, she makes a decision that will irrevocably change her own life forever. Determinedly overcoming parental objections as well as her own sensitive nature, Kitty sets out to accomplish her goal. Drawing on inner resources of faith, Kitty emerges from her sheltered girlhood as a woman of enormous bravery, spiritual strength, compassion, and courage. Having survived physical danger, heartbreak, and loss, Kitty discovers that sometimes the reality of love is more fulfilling than its illusion.

romance in war time

Hero's Bride continues the story of Cara, Kitty, and Kip from Mirror Bride and puts the three of them on the forefront of World War I. Cara and Kitty both decide that they cannot sit back while the war is being fought and follow their husband and fiance to France. Kitty stops in England to visit her aunt, whose Victorian English manor has been turned into a hospital for veterans. There she has a fateful encounter that will affect her life for years to come. Kip travels to France to become a fighter pilot, also meeting someone along the way who changes his life. In the background to the major characters are the older Montrose half-brothers, one who finds true love again, and the other, whose broken heart never quite heals. I can't wait to read the next entry in the Brides of Montclair series.
