In a time of sacrifice, what price can one put on true love? Pharmacist Lillian Avery and Ensign Archer Vandenberg are about to find out in Sarah Sundin's new book, Anchor in the Storm. During the darkest days of the war, Arch's destroyer hunts German U-boats in vain as the submarines sink dozens of merchant ships along the East Coast. Still shaken by battles at sea, Arch notices his men also struggle with their nerves—and with drowsiness. Could there be a link to the large prescriptions Lillian has been filling? As the danger rises on both land and sea, the two must work together to answer that question. But can Arch ever earn Lillian's trust and affection?

In a time of sacrifice, what price can one put on true love?
Nothing slows Lillian Avery down---not her personal challenges and certainly not America's entry into World War II. She finally has a chance to prove herself as a pharmacist in Boston. The demands of her new job energize her. But society boy Ensign Archer Vandenberg's attentions only annoy---even if he is her brother's best friend.

The second novel in Sarah Sundin’s Waves of Freedom series, Anchor in the Storm shares a story involving page-turning drama, mystery, danger, romance, and World War II history. Fans of historical fiction, read this book!
Hard-working, determined, and full of gumption and insecurities, both Lillian Avery and Archer Vandenberg want to prove they are much more than meets the eye, and a problematic drug ring gives them the perfect opportunity to do so. Working together to investigate allows Lillian and Arch the time to get to know and understand each other, so a heartwarming and smile-inducing friendship-to-romance relationship naturally develops - only to then test their trust in one another and in God.
Challenges and dangers abound throughout Anchor in the Storm, but Lillian and Arch prove to be strong, admirable, and wholly likable characters (with undeniable chemistry and a penchant for clever, humorous banter). It was an utter delight to discover the story within this book’s pages, and I loved it. Undoubtedly, I recommend it to interested readers in need of a good historical romance - it will not disappoint.
