Annemarie Kendall is overjoyed when the armistice is signed and the Great War comes to an end. Her fianc, Lieutenant Gilbert Ballard, is coming home, and though he is wounded, she is excited to start their life together. But when he arrives, her dreams are dashed when she learns Gilbert is suffering from headaches, depression, and an addiction to pain killers. This is not the man she had planned to marry. After serving in the trenches, Army Chaplain Samuel Vickary is barely holding onto his faith. Putting up a brave front as he ministers to the injured soldiers at the hospital in Hot Springs, Arkansas, he befriends Gilbert and eventually falls for Annemarie. While Annemarie tries to sort out her confused feelings about the two men in her life, she witnesses firsthand the bitterness and hurt they both hold within. Who will she choose? Will she have the courage to follow her heart and become the woman God intended her to be? As the world emerges from the shadow of war, Annemarie clings to her faith as she wonders if her future holds the hope, happiness, and love for which she so desperately longs.

When the Clouds Roll By is Myra Johnson's first full-length romance novel, and I think she's done a great job. It's not a typical romance with an ending that's obvious from the first page, and I liked that unpredictability. There were times when I got frustrated with Gilbert for doing stupid things, but at the same time I realised that was how he would behave. \\r\\n\\r\\nIt was still definitely a romance, with two strong male leads vying for Annemarie's attention. But it was something more as well, with strong subplots around recovering from shellshock, and the use and abuse of prescription medicines. When the Clouds Roll By is the first book in the Till We Meet Again series, and I'm certainly keen to return to Hot Springs, because there are a few minor characters I'd like to see more of. Recommended. \\r\\n\\r\\nThanks to Abingdon Press and NetGalley for providing a free ebook for review.
