—Margaret Brownley, New York Times bestselling author
“Love Without End, Book One in Robin Lee Hatcher’s new Kings Meadow series, is a delight from start to finish. The author’s skill at depicting the love and challenges of family has never been more evident as she deftly combines two love stories—past and present—to capture readers’ hearts and lift their spirits.”
—Marta Perry, author of The Forgiven, Keepers of the Promise, Book One
“I always expect excellence when I open a Robin Lee Hatcher novel. She never disappoints. The story here reminds me of a circle without end as Robin takes us through a modern-day romance while looping one character through a WWII tale of love and loss and the resurrection of hope and purpose. Love Without End touched my heart and guided me to some wonderful truths of how God’s love is a gift and a treasure.”
—Donita K. Paul, bestselling author
“A beautiful, heart-touching story of God’s amazing grace, and how He can restore and make new that which was lost.”
—Francine Rivers, New York Times bestselling author, on A Promise Kept
