In All Things is part 2 of Jakob and Meri's love story that began in No Other, an ebook I read last year. I looked forward to seeing the completion of the story, and receiving that great feeling that this couple will have their happily ever after now.
Historical romance, set after World War II, by the time In All Things begins, Meri and Jakob have been in Hollywood for seven years. Meri is a rising star, just breaking out of her studio contract to become a free agent, but life is still not the dream she imagined it would be. She has the material "stuff" and the happy children, even the devoted and mostly supportive husband, but life is still empty.
Turns out Jakob dropped the ball as spiritual head of his household while he made sure Meri's career took off, finished his own schooling, and started his own work in architecture and developing. Then, a Christmas trip to visit his family brings some problems, but also gets him back on track, seeking God with his whole heart once more.
That, of course, doesn't solve all their problems, but now they have something to work toward and the reader can cheer them on.
Clear motivations and struggles. Honest family dynamics. Even some evil bad guys. Always, hope for the future.
Pick up In All Things from Desert Breeze Publications or wherever you get your e-books.
