ABOUT THE BOOK
Title: Three Little Things
Author: Patti Stockdale
Publisher: Smitten Historical Romance
Release Date: February 4, 2020
Genre: Historical Romance
One forbidden love. Two broken hearts. Three Little Things.
Hattie Waltz should forget the troubled neighbor leaving for boot camp in 1917. He forgot about her ages ago. It had always been the Waltzes verses the Kregers, his family pitted against hers. When she hands him a farewell gift, a chemistry lesson unfolds. The good kind.
Arno Kreger can’t leave Iowa or his old man fast enough. He’s eager to prove his worth on the battlefield and stop blaming himself for his brother’s death. Before entering the train, he bumps into Hattie. He’s loved her forever, always from the sidelines, because nobody crosses Hattie’s pa.
One innocent letter soon morphs into many. Arno and Hattie share three little secrets in each letter and grow closer together. But he’s on his way to war across the ocean, and she’s still in her father’s house. Their newfound love will need to survive dangers on both fronts.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Patti Stockdale loves hope, history, and a good happily ever after. She can’t remember numbers, so she married a statistician. Thanks to him, she’s lived all sorts of places and worked all sorts of jobs. While employed by an NFL team, she once answered the phone by the wrong team name. She doesn’t work there anymore. For 11 years, she directed the programming at a nonprofit senior center and hosted an annual talent show, rocking a Dolly Parton wig, Annie Oakley boots, and a sweet—although snug—Batman costume. She no longer works there either. These days, Patti writes books and occasionally educational assessments and magazine articles.

My Thoughts on Three Little Things:
WWI isn’t a time period I’ve read a lot about. At least not from a stateside perspective. I really enjoyed this book and getting to read a new author as well.
This book is set in Iowa which is about half an hour away from where I live so that made it a bit more personal. I got to thinking about what if I was alive then and could have met these main characters. I’m sure I’d have been friends!
I loved getting to know the characters. They were well developed and really reached out to grab you. The portrayal of the war and what it was like for those back home and those involved was spot on from what I could tell as well.
The cover is eye-catching and made me want to start the book as soon as I saw it. I love the idea of sharing three secrets in each letter as well. That drew me in. Who doesn’t want to learn someones secrets?
Obviously, war is a topic of this book. Other things mentioned in the book include forgiveness, making new friends, and overcoming the past.
This is definitely a book I recommend and I can’t wait to see what the author comes up with next.
