Promising Meg

Love in Time, Book 1

By: Anna Huckabee

Narrated by: Bless Dabalos

Fall 1918. The Great War is raging in Europe. American soldier, Jack Collins, is burned when he drags a dying friend into a mustard gas-filled trench. He spends the next agonizing weeks in one army hospital after another. As day after painful day passes, he loses hope that he’ll ever lead a normal life.

In New England, Meg longs to do her part to help in the war effort, but caring for her elderly grandmother takes up all her time. Then, her aunt and uncle make arrangements for her to volunteer in a nearby hospital where she meets Jack.

Jack doesn’t think he will ever walk again—but he isn’t counting on Meg’s determination to help him, or on falling in love with this remarkable woman. The day finally comes when Jack can go home. Meg fears he’ll leave her forever.

Will Jack follow through on all he has been promising Meg?

Sweet story about hope

Nothing negative I thought the story was very uplifting when circumstances seem to be hopeless.

A Sweet Romance Nestled in a Story of Overcoming

This book has always been one of my favorites in this series. Listening to it as an audiobook only brings more depth. I love the relationship that develops between Meg and Jack. The story of Jack’s endurance and overcoming all the struggles he faces as he heals is an encouragement to anyone facing struggles whether they be physical or otherwise. I have read/listened to this book multiple times and will likely do so again!
