Series ✦ Penny’s Take
A Wartime Promise
Ruby Reynolds · 2018
78/100
👍 Worth It
Ford's debut under the Reynolds name earns its praise from Annie Groves and Daisy Styles — two reliable names in the WWII saga space — and the Spark Girl premise gives the home-front story a specific, vivid grounding. Orion's backing and the enthusiastic reader response confirm this is a solid genre entry, not just a credentialed one. Fans of wartime domestic sagas will find this deeply satisfying.
