Summary

Popular novelist Penelope J. Stokes entertains and inspires legions of fans with her heartwarming stories. In Home Fires Burning , she spins a stirring tale of love and faith, tested by the turbulence and uncertainty of World War II. The deadly conflict in Europe seems far away to 18-year-old Libba Coltraine; all she cares about is escaping her domineering father. Searching for excitement, she defies her father and attends a USO dance at the army camp near Eden, Mississippi. When she meets handsome Link Winsome there, Libba believes she has found both a source of protection and someone to love. But suddenly, amidst a cloud of secrecy, Link is shipped to Europe. As stories of the Normandy invasion leak out and letters stop coming, Libba wonders if she will ever see Link again. Penelope J. Stokes paints vivid pictures of both the American homefront and European battlefields. Narrator Ruth Ann Phimister perfectly underscores the young couple's courage and hope, even in their darkest hours
