Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Veteran Christian fiction author Hatcher weaves epistolary elements with third-person omniscient narration in this moving novel about a year in the life of four Idaho women working at a Boise air field during WWII. Lucy, Margo, Penelope and Dotty all have loved ones serving in the military, and each reacts differently to the hardships of war. Three of them are Christians, and rather than making them cardboard saints, Hatcher depicts each one struggling with and giving in to sin. As each woman deals with the consequences of her sin, the novel's dominant theme becomes grace. For example, when Dotty realizes that a premarital liaison with her soldier boyfriend has led to pregnancy, she experiences God's forgiveness and finds the courage to face her difficult situation. Hatcher includes V-mail and news clippings to good effect, making this novel's wartime setting believable without resorting to cliché. She is not afraid to leave some of her characters unredeemed, and in contrast to much of the sentimental Christian fiction geared toward women, this novel embraces complexity rather than eschewing it. A well-paced and genuinely suspenseful plot plus Hatcher's pleasingly smooth prose make this novel a delight. (June)

Product Description

In times of war, sometimes victory seems like an impossible dream. In 1943, the women of America banded together to make a life for themselves while their husbands and sons fought overseas. Even as the men engaged in war, these women faced battles of their own on the homefront. Margo, Dottie, Lucy, and Penny never expected to face the hardships they must now find a way to conquer. But through the power of Christ and the power of friendship, perhaps this Victory Club will achieve more than any of them could have ever imagined. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great wartime Christian book, June 4, 2005
By M. E. Newell (Marietta, Georgia, United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
This review is from: The Victory Club (Paperback)
Margo,Dottie,Lucy and Penny all work together at an airfield during World War 2. As they work together they struggle to keep and find their faith. Some are worried about family and sweethearts serving, while others want to break free of the life that they have always known. And Victory Club will bring them togther to make that dream come truth.
This was the first book that I have read by Robin Lee Hatcher. I have to say that main reason that I bought it was wartime setting, but I really enjoyed this book and would more by Ms. Hatcher.

The Victory Club
Robin Lee Hatcher

During times of war, not all the victories and casualties occur on the battlefield. Award-winning, veteran novelist Robin Lee Hatcher transports us back to 1943, and into the lives of four women desperately holding on while their loved ones serve in WWII.

· Margo King: A woman who attempts to control her life, and the lives of those she loves, with a rigid determination borne from personal pain. She's to learn that in order to fully receive God's grace, one must let go.
· Dottie King: A night of passion leads to an unexpected result. In her darkest days, she discovers God's unconditional love and forgiveness.
· Lucy Anderson: The founder of The Victory Club, she soon realizes how the enemy can advance when our guard is down.
· Penelope Maxfield: Desperate for a new life, nothing can stand in her way.

With precise attention given to characterization and details surrounding World War II, Robin Lee Hatcher succeeds in weaving together a beautiful story, which examines heroism and cowardice, and above all, God's unfailing love.

4.0 out of 5 stars Travel back to a time of war and be enthralled , July 22, 2005
This review is from: The Victory Club (Paperback)
The year is 1943 and World War 2 grips the world. With their loved ones away in far off countries fighting for freedom, four women decided to do something extra to help matters at home. So begins the Victory Club.

Lucy, Margo, Dottie, and Penelope come together to pray and seek ways to help those that are struggling during this time of war. But they too face struggles, ones they don't always openly share with each other.

Loneliness plagues Lucy as she waits on word from her husband, drawing her into a friendship that could destroy all she cherishes. Margo's hurt and bitterness from the past has built a shield of coldness and legalism around her, a shield that ultimately blocks God's unending mercy. Margo's daughter, Dottie, finds herself facing the consequences of temptation and sin. As Dottie finds God's forgiveness, her mother's shield of legalism blocks the love Dottie seeks as she awaits news from her boyfriend overseas. Bitterness consumes Penelope. When her younger sister sets off to war, Penelope selfishly desires to escape the mundane life before her.

Each woman deals with issues of fear and death as they eagerly await V-Mail from their loved ones on the battlefield. Months can go by without word from overseas, and sometimes when word does get through, it isn't what they would like to hear.

THE VICTORY CLUB tells the compelling story of these four women as they face issues of loneliness, temptation, sin, selfishness, and legalism. Through this heart-wrenching tale, we follow the women as they find mercy and trust in the one true God, and ultimately learn that God is in control.

The clever use of V-mail correspondence inserts, exchanged between those waiting at home and those in the throes of war, drew us into the emotions and struggles of each woman. Telegrams and snippets of newspaper reports also helped bring this story to life.

I read this book in two sittings, a very rare thing for me. Drawn into the era of 1943, with its high emotions and uncertainty, I found it difficult to put this book down once I started.

THE VICTORY CLUB is a story I won't soon forget.
