All My Tomorrows. Karen Witemeyer, Jody Hedlund, Elizabeth Camden

Review: There wasn't a story in this collection that I didn't enjoy. Each one was a confident, stand-alone novella that any reader could pick up and enjoy without having the backstory of these author's other series. Two of the novellas were set in worlds that the authors have created for other series, but it wasn't necessary to know about them to enjoy these short-stories.


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.

Excerpt from "All my Tomorrows"

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.
