Historical Fiction.
HTML: Her hand fluttered from her heart to her throat, and she searched his eyes. Fear and anger were gone, replaced by a love so deep she could drown in it. A heartwarming WWII love story, Canteen Dreams won the 2008 American Christian Fiction Writers' Carol Award for short historical fiction. In the aftermath of Pearl Harbor, Nebraska schoolteacher Audrey Stone wants to support the war effort in any way she can. When her community starts a canteen at the train station, Audrey spends nearly every spare moment there, offering food and kindness to the soldiers passing through. She never expected to fall for a local boy...or face the challenges of budding love in the face of war. Rancher Willard Johnson admires Audrey's passionate nature, but when his brother is killed in action, he feels he must avenge by enlisting himself. His father insists he stay, but Willard knows he must go. Reality intrudes, and he never expected the jealousy he experiences when he sees those in uniform. Can Willard's budding relationship with Audrey weather the storms of war? Or will one of the other soldiers at the canteen steal her heart?

I have rad before, but this time it wasn't something that drew me to pick up the book.
I wanted to like this one, the time period is one that I usually enjoy, but I felt like the book made Willard seem "selfish" for wanting to enlist and praising Audrey for backing away from her volunteer work. I didn't think she had the wrong motives; she enjoyed the work and felt like she was making a difference... I was also confused by their relationship. I didn't enjoy it as much as I'd hoped.
The story was just okay for me. It did a good job of creating an atmosphere of fear and uncertainty that was true for this time. But it was more a squeaky clean romance than historical fiction, and the writing was very simplistic. (
