About the Paperback

Becoming Mrs. Smith

Not all of war's destruction takes place on the battlefield.

A heart warming tale of love, life, and friendship. Becoming Mrs. Smith is sure to transport you back in time to pre-war, small town America where a young couple's love story begins to unfold.

Violet's heart flutters from the scarlet fever she survived as a child, and it beats faster at the sight of John Smith, the man she plans to marry. America is entrenched in WWII, and when John enlists, Violet is certain she won't ever forgive him for dashing their dreams. As the realities of war slowly overtake her life, Violet's days are filled with uncertainty and grief. She struggles to maintain her faith in John, as the world as she knows it, crumbles around her.

Becoming Mrs. Smith is a beautifully written, emotionally charged novella that paints a vivid picture of the life and times of America's home front during World War II. The inspiring, and at times, heartbreaking story of a woman's struggle to reclaim what she lost is both poignant and heartfelt. War stole the man she loves, and childhood illness weakened her heart--perhaps beyond repair. While guns rage in Europe, the war Violet faces at home may be even more devastating.

Loved the story and style of writing. A delight to read, Christian without being overly pious, just natural expressions of faith. I'll read all her books.

Tanya E Williams reveals her gentle, thoughtful, spiritual nature in her debut novel. Despite the difficult content of the novel—debilitating illness, war, loss, and death—the author shields and instructs the reader with her uplifting perspective. Violet, the protagonist, has at first what seems a pure and simple love relationship with her beau, John Smith. World War II soon changes that. *SPOILER ALERT* Violet is deeply dismayed when John joins the military to go fight in the war. She can’t bear the thought of such a good man voluntarily murdering others, of him choosing to leave her behind in order to do so. In the course of the novel, she makes a mild transition to being able to appreciate the heroism behind his motives, realizing what a sacrifice it is for such a gentle soul. I at first wondered why the author did not expound more on Violet’s transition, but then I realized that it’s because there was only a subtle shift. Violet did not change her mind, she only expanded her perspective to be more understanding and accepting of what she couldn’t change. She never actually advocates that it was the ‘right’ course. She merely gains an appreciation for the sacrifices he’s making for the sake of the others being brutalized, who really did need help. It’s actually all quite lovely and true. In the end, I still think of it as a sweet love story, though there is a certain sadness throughout and especially to the ending—sad yet strangely uplifting. As uplifting and gentle as such an ending can be.

I NEEDED SOMETHING TO GET MY MIND OFF OF POLITICS AND THE VIRUS PROBLEMS. THIS BOOK WAS LIKE A PERSCRIPTION FOR THAT NEED. SWEET, THE INNOSENSE MADE ME SMILE AS I RECCOLECTED ON MY OWN ROMANCE. IT IS FLUFF BUT SWEET.

I just finished this book, and it was a really great story! The story line is based around Violet and John, who meet in school and fall in love. As the US is drawn into WWII, Violet struggles with her feelings regarding the war while John feels as though he needs to protect her, their future, and their country. It was heart warming from the very beginning and I loved each and every character. The ending was rather abrupt and a bit shocking. Definitely unexpected!
