Come on down to Fredericksburg, Texas, where four generations of couples encounter romance in Sunday Houses. Having become a schoolteacher to avoid marriage, Amelia Bachman finds her resolve crumbling before a smitten carpenter. Determined not to fall in love, Mildred Zimmermann carefully nurses an army medic crippled in love and war. Somewhat of a homebody, Trudy Meier isnt sure she has the courage to love a roving reporter. Gwendolyns beautiful wildflower field is threatened by a geologists search for knowledge. Will these four women risk their hearts for the love a stranger? I loved this book!! This book was a great multi-generational collection of short stories. Each story had me more in love with Fredericksburg and the Zimmerman family. It's a must read for any Christian romance lover. (Becky Roupp 2013-02-12) It's an enjoyable escape for a few hours for anyone who likes following a series through generations. (Becky Guinn Becky's Book Addiction 2013-02-26) I liked how this book started with historical stories and worked towards the present and for the most part followed some of the characters from earlier stories. I like when they do this as it makes the short stories feel more like one book and its easier to get into each story when they share some details. (Abbie Tireman Abbie's Reading Corner 2031-05-10) I love these little series of books all in one. This one is four generations of school teachers who come to find love in Fredericksburg. It is little love stories that delight the heart and remind you of the goodness of God. Perfect for reading by the pool on vacation. (Janis Rodgers Blogspot.com 2013-06-13) Each story was short and sweet. I enjoyed learning about some of the German history and their community, as well as learning about Sunday Houses and what they were. (Leah Brandel Must Love Reading.wordpress 2013-06-25) Four generations of Texas women find love amid Sunday Houses. A schoolteacher’s determination is challenged by a carpenter. A nurse is attracted to a crippled medic. A homebody falls for a rover. A young woman discovers the pitfalls of loving a geologist. Will romance provide a shelter from life’s storms? Love Finds Shelter in Fredericksburg For generations, Sunday houses provided overnight shelter for rural farmers who traveled to town on Sundays. Across generations, four couples find buds of romance blooming around these quaint structures. In 1897, Amelia Bachman became a school teacher to avoid getting hitched. Will love-struck carpenter Hank Zimmermann dissolve her resolve and turn a Sunday house into a home? World War I nurse Mildred Zimmermann opens her Sunday house to patients during an outbreak of influenza. Will she prove more than a shelter from the storm to war hero Nelson Winters? In 1943, Trudy Meier craves adventure yet is terrified at the idea of leaving Fredericksburg. Roving columnist Bradley Payne rents the Meier s Sunday house, but when he hears the call of the open road, can he take Trudy s heart with him? Gwen Zimmermann has been carrying meals to injured geologist Clay Tanner, who s staying in a local Sunday house. Does Clay have the courage to trust God with his love and his life? Will the roughly hewn loves of these couples be strong enough to support a forever-after shelter?
