1 post | 2 read | 1 to read
Lainie has no dreams left. Lainie Gardner dreamed of becoming a nurse. Of serving her country. Of doing something important in the war. But rheumatic fever changed all that, and instead of running home, Lainie is determined to find a job at Fort Robinson in Nebraska's sandhills. Tom Hamilton had dreams, too. Dreams of preparing the horses at Fort Robinson for duty on the warfront. Instead, he is assigned to train war dogs and their handlers, meaning that each day he must face the fear he's had of dogs since he was bitten as a child. Lainie and Tom wonder why God seems to have denied them their dreams. But is it possible new dreams will bring them more joy than they ever imagined?

BeansPage Great review! 🙌 5y
wordzie 👆(continued from 'to support herself')* There are many soldiers at Fort Robinson who are interested in Lainie, but she first meets Tom whom she thinks of constantly and feels the others are no comparison to him. Her father disapproves 👎 of Tom but he eventually comes around. 👇 5y
wordzie The story of their developing love 💘 was fun to follow. Their relationship felt real, complete with Tom and Lainie yearning to see one another and then half hating one another when they do. A lighthearted and warm read. ❤❤❤❤ 4.25 5y
