Becoming Mrs. Smith by Tanya E. Williams
Publication Date: October 10, 2017 Rippling Effects Writing & Photography eBook, Paperback & Audio; 100 Pages Genre: Historical Fiction/Novella
Not all of war’s destruction takes place on the battlefield.
Violet’s heart flutters from the scarlet fever she survived as a child, and it beats faster at the sight of John Smith, the man she plans to marry. America is entrenched in WWII, and when John enlists, Violet is certain she won’t ever forgive him for dashing their dreams. As the realities of war slowly overtake her life, Violet's days are filled with uncertainty and grief. She struggles to maintain her faith in John, as the world as she knows it, crumbles.
Becoming Mrs. Smith is the inspiring, and at times, heartbreaking story of a woman’s struggle to reclaim what she lost. War stole the man she loves, and childhood illness weakened her heart—perhaps beyond repair. While guns rage in Europe, the war Violet faces at home may be even more devastating.
"Wonderfully emotional and beautifully written, Becoming Mrs. Smith will take hold of your heartstrings and leave you longing for more." -Kelsey Gietl, author of Across Oceans
Available on Amazon in Paperback and eBook

Becoming Mrs. Smith
My Review
Becoming Mrs. Smith is a good read. I was not sure what I would think about it at first but was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked it. I admired Violet and how she dealt with the struggles and tragedies she endured. The book is only a little over 100 pages long and I had no problem reading it in one sitting. It is full of historical details and by the time I got to the end, I wanted more. I am excited to find this is part of a series and cannot wait to see what happens in the second installment.I recommend Becoming Mrs. Smith and give it 4 1/2 stars.
I received this book from the publisher. This review is 100% my own honest opinion.
