Hannah Gregory is good at many things, but that list does not include following rules. So when she is forced to apply for a job as a telephone switchboard operator to support her two sisters, she knows it won’t be easy. Hello Girls must conduct themselves according to strict--and often bewildering--rules, which include absolutely no consorting with gentlemen while in training.
Hannah doubts it will be difficult to keep that rule--until a handsome young lawyer starts getting under her skin.
With historic details that bring to life the exciting first decade of the twentieth century, Lorna Seilstad weaves a charming tale of companionship that blossoms into sweet romance.
I won 2 book( When Loves Calls and While Love Stirs) from the Christian author Lorna Seilstad about 3 weeks ago when there was a pretty big Christian author scavenger hunt. Gotta say that I was so excited cause after I read the description of the one While Love Stirs(coming out May ) I really wanted to win these books:)

So of course I started reading the first one as soon as I could!!

Then the unthinkable happens, a young lawyer shows up at there parents house to inform them it’s being foreclosed. Lincoln had no idea he was telling three orphaned girls the bank was taking there house and felt bad so he decides he wants to help
And tries to a few different ways, Hannah sees him as the enemy and doesn’t want to take his charity but her sisters except and she has no choice but she plans to stay mad at him and pay him back….that is until she needs to ask him for help!!

About Lorna Seilstad
For as long as I can remember, I loved writing. I even dreamed in plots. I also grew up attending antique auctions nearly every weekend, so history was as much a part of my life as chores on our farm in Iowa, reading books, and playing with Barbies.
So, writing historical romances fit perfectly. Times may change, the style of clothes, the way we speak, but the common threads that unite us remain the same. Couples fall in love. Injustices
happen. We fight for what we believe in. We struggle. We endure. We grow.
After graduating from York College in York, Nebraska with an A.A. and then receiving a B.S.Ed. from Lubbock Christian University, I met and married the love of my life, David. God had
written our love story, and I knew from the moment we met that he was the one. It was not love at first sight by any means, but I was so sure he was “it” that I wrote that I’d met the man I would marry in my diary. We pledged our hearts to one another two and half years later.
I taught high school English until my oldest child was born. After that I began my career as a professional wiper. I wiped noses, counter tops, tiny tushes, tears, and scraped knees.
Deciding that my children were now older and less in need of my constant supervision, I started pursuing my first love again –writing. After joining American Christian Fiction Writers, I found a wonderful critique group and began studying the craft of writing.
David and I have three children ages 18, 16, and 11. We also work in youth ministry and teach youth and adult Bible classes.
Thank you so much for stopping by, friend!
Congrats on your win! I LOVE autographed books ♥
