I became surprisingly invested in all three of these novellas, despite the fact that they were short stories. Typically I find short stories rushed, but these were complete and very satisfying reads. This book is the perfect collection to drop in your purse to read during a lunch break or while waiting for someone - they are short (I read each story in about 30 minutes) and thoroughly enjoyable.
I found the cover quite under-whelming and it did not inspire me to pick this book up right away. That being said, I really enjoy all three of these authors and this collection is a little gem. I'd definitely recommend it.

Back Cover: Stories of Love That Will Last through Every Tomorrow
Karen Witemeyer, Jody Hedlund, and Elizabeth Camden are among the most acclaimed authors in the historical romance genre--their novels have won a RITA award, a Christy Award, a Christian Book Award, and multiple Carol Awards. These beloved writers offer for the first time ever in print three unforgettable historical novellas that celebrate true love:
Karen Witemeyer's "Worth the Wait" takes readers to the Harper's Station women's colony, where a single mother must overcome pain and fears of the past in order to trust a gruff but kind freighter who has helped the women expand their business.
Jody Hedlund's "An Awakened Heart" follows a young widow into the shadows of New York's tenements, where she and a newly appointed minister spar over the best way to care for the poor and orphaned.
Elizabeth Camden's "Toward the Sunrise" finds a female medical student trying to overcome the ramifications of a decision that leaves her at the mercy of a stubborn but handsome attorney.
Thank-you to Graf Martin Communications and to Baker Publishing House for a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for my review.
