ABOUT THE BOOK

Title: Three Little Things

Author: Patti Stockdale

Publisher: Smitten Historical Romance

Release Date: February 4, 2020

Genre: Historical Romance



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 Waltzes 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 war across the ocean, and she's still in her father's house. Their newfound love will need to survive dangers on both fronts.

My Review:
I enjoyed getting to know Hattie and Arno as they get to know one another better through letters when Arno goes off to boot camp. It's funny how you can grow up with someone and not truly know them. Hattie has had a crush on Arno for years, but has waffled between being his little sister's friend and having a scary pa that intimidates suitors. I loved how they started sharing more abut themselves as they picked three little, big, or in between sized things to share with the other in each letter. This is a lovely story of a time when life was simpler, and yet you hugged your loved ones tighter, with WWI knocking on the door. This is a sweet story to pick up!
I received this book from Just Read. This is my honest review and is in no way influenced by receiving a complimentary copy.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Patti Stockdale loves hope, history, and a good happily ever after. She can’t remember numbers, so she married a statistician. Thanks to him, she’s lived all sorts of places and worked all sorts of jobs. While employed by an NFL team, she once answered the phone by the wrong team name. She doesn’t work there anymore. For 11 years, she directed the programming at a nonprofit senior center and hosted an annual talent show, rocking a Dolly Parton wig, Annie Oakley boots, and a sweet—although snug—Batman costume. She no longer works there either. These days, Patti writes books and occasionally educational assessments and magazine articles.
