Publisher Description
In two world wars, intelligence and counterintelligence, prejudice, and self-sacrifice collide across two generations
In 1942, Evie Farrow is used to life on Ocracoke Island, where every day is the same--until the German U-boats haunting their waters begin to wreak havoc. And when special agent Sterling Bertrand is washed ashore at Evie's inn, her life is turned upside down. While Sterling's injuries keep him inn-bound for weeks, making him even more anxious about the SS officer he's tracking, he becomes increasingly intrigued by Evie, who seems to be hiding secrets of her own.
Decades earlier, in 1914, Englishman Remington Culbreth arrives at the Ocracoke Inn for the summer, never expecting to fall in love with Louisa Adair, the innkeeper's daughter. But when war breaks out in Europe, their relationship is put in jeopardy and may not survive what lies ahead for them.
As the ripples from the Great War rock Evie and Sterling's lives in World War II, it seems yesterday's tides may sweep them all into danger again today.
"Yesterday's Tides has delicious romance, fascinating history, heart-pounding mystery, and wrenching family drama. . . . Please don't miss this novel."--SARAH SUNDIN, bestselling and award-winning author of The Sound of Light and Until Leaves Fall in Paris
"Yesterday's Tides triumphs with raw and real emotion, pulse-pounding action, and romance that pays tribute to the legacy of yesterday to anchor the path of our tomorrows."--KRISTY CAMBRON, Christy Award-winning author of The Paris Dressmaker

Such a Great, Quick Read!!
Sooooo Good!! Wish she had more books out! :))
Tied up beautifully
If you’re a regular reader of Roseanna M White, keep your eyes peeled for past characters. It won’t stop you from understanding anything in the book, but it sure is cool to see those past characters helping new characters you’ve grown to love. I especially love that she brought Elsie into this story.
And I’d LOVE to see Stavi’s full story!! Hint, hint…
Beautiful.
Dual timeline historical-Yes, please!
What war separates takes time to bring back together.
This book earns a 5* rating when one considers the intricate intertwining of the two timelines and the vast difference in character personalities spread throughout the storylines. The beautiful, emotional writing makes this book a gem among historical romances.
Two wars, two generations, two worlds away…Glimpses of 1942 are carefully slipped into the “yesterday’s” (1914) storyline, pushing the reader toward trying to figure out how these timelines meet. Clues were laid out bit by bit, with perfect pacing, until the threads come together.
If you are a reader of White’s previous books, some of her beloved characters are snuck in to round out the story and give a nod to her readers.
Themes: God’s Providence, prayer, racial barriers and love in the midst of obstacles
This book is suitable for teens and older with no inappropriate intimate scenes and no bad language. I received this book from the author/publisher free of charge, with no expectation of a positive review.
