Billie Houston

Sparrow on a Houstop Billie Houston

In 1943 Sara Carson left her farm home and went to Orange, Texas, to work in the ship yards. There she met and fell in love with soldier Kent Holden. Three days later they were married. Less than a week afterward, he shipped out to North Africa. Sara moved back to the farm to help her mother with her ailing grandmother and her father who was losing his hold on reality.
Now it is 1945. Germany has surrendered and Kent is coming home. Sara comes to grips with the realization that she has married a stranger. She loves her husband, but she doesn't know him. She married in haste. Is she condemned to repent at leisure?
