Three Little Things
by Patti Stockdale
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ "I fell in love with Aron and Hattie!" - Debbie Macomber ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
"A well-drawn cast of supporting characters creates a strong sense of community, and colorful colloquialisms ("whip-thin and homely as a cow pie") add flavor. Lovers of G-rated historical romance will be charmed by the earnest, emotionally vulnernable connection between these young lovers." - Publisher's Weekly
One forbidden love. Two broken hearts. Three little things.
Hattie Waltz should forget the troubled neighbor leaving for boot camp in 1917. He forgot about her ages ago. It had always been the Waltzs verses the Kregers, his family pitted against hers. When she hands him a farewell gift, a chemistry lesson unfolds. The good kind.
Arno Kreger can’t leave Iowa or his old man fast enough. He’s eager to prove his worth on the battlefield and stop blaming himself for his brother’s death. Before entering the train, he bumps into Hattie. He’s loved her forever, always from the sidelines, because nobody crosses Hattie’s pa.
One innocent letter soon morphs into many. Arno and Hattie share three little secrets in each letter and grow closer together. But he’s on his way to a war across the ocean, and she’s still in her father’s house. Their newfound love will need to survive dangers on both fronts.
★ A Word From Hattie Waltz ★I’m bookish. I’ll admit it. But in a month of Sundays, I never thought I’d star in a small town romance chockfull of small town rumors with a rich widow chasing after my pa. At least it’s clean fiction and a clean romance. That’s a relief. Some readers have called my story strong women’s fiction; others American historical romance. I prefer to think of my story as popular historical romance. (One can always hope :) Latching onto the limelight goes against my nature. But kind folks who read women’s domestic fiction, popular family life fiction, and small town fiction seem to love Three Little Things. I’m forever grateful. – Hattie Waltz
