Free (nook/Kindle/iTunes/ePub) Wings of a Dream [Xtian WWI Historical COA w/Romance]

[ATDrake]

Wings of a Dream by Anne Mateer is her apparently standalone historical coming-of-age drama novel with strong romantic elements, set during WWI on the homefront, starring a young woman who must cope with the 1918 Spanish Flu epidemic (Wikipedia) in a small town in the course of helping care for her aunt's orphans while separated from her aviator beau, free courtesy of Christian publisher Baker's Bethany House imprint.

Apparently, this is tilted much more towards the historical than the romantic, despite the lead acquiring multiple suitors, as some of the customer reviews complain that it's a downer sort of book and that even the main character's romance didn't seem all that happy. YMMV.

This has previously been offered free in 2012.

Currently free, probably just for one day @ B&N (may also drop in the UK), Amazon UK (slated to drop in the main store), Kobo & iTunes & Google Play (all available to Canadians), and ChristianBook (ADE-DRM ePub available worldwide).

Description
Rebekah Hendricks dreams of a life far beyond her family's farm in Oklahoma, and when dashing aviator Arthur Samson promises adventure in the big city, she is quick to believe he's the man she's meant to marry.

While she waits for the end of the Great War and Arthur's return, her mother's sister falls ill. Rebekah seizes the opportunity to travel to Texas to care for Aunt Adabelle, sure that her glamorous and exciting life is about to start.

But the Spanish flu epidemic changes everything. Faced with her aunt's sickness, Arthur's indecisiveness, and four children who have no one else to care for them, Rebekah discovers she must choose between her desire to escape the type of life she's always led and the unexpected love that just might change the dream of her heart.
