More from Hannah

Love interests me. Not just in the romantic sense, but in every sense, because love is the driving emotion behind so much of what we do. It’s the heartbeat of everything. What do we have but love? Yet isn’t it the very essence of our greatest pain?

Sometimes it doesn’t make sense. Sometimes love has no reason. Like a tumultuous wind or a wet branch that sways in different directions, love is often petulant and aimless and powerful. But sometimes it’s soft, like a flower lifting dewy petals to the sunshine. The epitome of everything good, sweet, and true.

What makes love change? What makes two friends who have always been fraternal one day confess romantic affection? How much wrong, how much affliction, does it take for sweet love to sizzle into hatred? Even then, is it really hatred? Or merely the charred crust of the adoration still throbbing beneath? And how strong are the cords of new love? Will they break at every pull and tug, or are they more unfaltering than anyone might think?

Maybe those are silly questions. Maybe, like snowflakes, every heart knows a different answer. But if I explored anything in When Tomorrow Came, it was this. I glided through the story and felt love shift from brotherly to intimate, from hopeful to disappointed, from untested to proven, from safe to betrayed.

Just as love is the heartbeat of life, it is also the heartbeat of this story. I hope you will find yourself falling in love with the characters and their journey as much as I did.

My Thoughts

When Tomorrow Came is a beautifully written story by Hannah Linder. This story will draw you in within the first few pages. The author has set her story in England in the early 1800's. Nan and Heath Duncan, siblings abandoned by their papa and abused by their guardian - they have been living on the streets and have been doing all means necessary to make sure their stomachs are full. Nan asks Heath every day when their father will return for them, and every day Heath tells her "Tomorrow". We get the siblings back story in the beginning of the book - leading to where the story picks up.

Nan settles into her life with her adopted siblings and seems to be thriving. However the siblings are reunited when their father comes back and tries to push Nan on a suitor that wants to marry her. Her adopted brother also has feelings for her and is not sure that he can hide them. There is also a bit of mystery and suspense woven into the story. The story is told from multiple POV but once you get to know the characters it is not hard to follow.

This book does deal with abuse and an attempted r***. The author handles it with grace. The writing flows off the pages. Thank you to the author, publisher and Celebrate Lit for allowing me to read a copy of this book - all thoughts are my own.
