Every storm
(Book)

1945--Lieutenant Donovan Riggs is ready to do anything for his country, even lay down his life. WWII is drawing to an end, but before that can officially happen, trouble with his PT boat calls the sailors of "Every Storm to make an unscheduled stop at a South Pacific island. And when they make a landing ... they make an unexpected discovery. Lorraine Archer is an American teacher living and working in Australia, a job she took before the bombing of Pearl Harbor and US involvement in the war. While on a flight with her sister, her daydreams of home are disrupted by the frightening sounds of the plane going down. The only survivor, she finds herself alone on an island in the Pacific searching for food and shelter. And just when Lorri is losing any sense of hope ... the PT boat crew lands for repairs. In the midst of their precarious circumstances, surrounded by the uncertainties of war, neither Donovan nor Lorri suspect that their encounter is the beginning of something very certain ... a future not left to chance, but to faith.
