As WWII draws to a close, war widow Vera Larsen Trumbell knows all too well the sacrifices of those left on the home front. Working on her family's farm has sustained Vera and her young children, but she now yearns for a sense of normalcy. The end of the war has been bittersweet for the Larsen clan as they and the residents of their small Wyoming town continue to pick up the pieces of their former lives.

Navigating the complexities of a postwar world, Vera and her family face the changing ideals swirling around them. From rising controversy surrounding women's presence in the workplace to the town's cold reception of the newest member of the family—a beautiful French freedom fighter—the American dream of days gone by has been thrown off balance. Even Vera's own life is set spinning when, despite her better judgment, she feels a growing attraction for the brooding and mysterious local schoolteacher.

As the Larsen family and their neighbors tread on thorny territory, will the people of this small town find the strength to embrace an unfamiliar and extraordinary future?

In a house overrun by boys, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that Raneé loves football and enjoys watching (and playing!) other sports as well, like basketball and baseball. When she’s not chauffeuring three busy boys to various activities (and sometimes while she is!), Raneé is either writing, reading (usually romance), obsessing over clothes in the form of her online boutique, or figuring out how to get a Crumbl cookie in rural Wyoming. When her real-life love interest can drag her away from imaginary worlds, she doesn’t mind spending some time with him in the great outdoors that he loves.

4.0 out of 5 stars In order to move towards the future a couple will have to deal with their pasts!
Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2018
Sometimes the best way we can understand our future is to spend some time looking through the past. For America, a lot changed when we entered WWII, and as thousands of husbands, brothers, and fathers left to serve, women stepped up in a role not familiar to them to pick up in factories where the men left off, their way of helping in the war effort.

As the war ended, and some men returned home, often times with less than they had before, with disabilities, missing limbs, and dealing with PTSD, women were again challenged to step into the roles vacated to help those returning home. Then again, there were those women who married before the war, and were notified that their husband, was killed and would not be returning home. This set the stage for the beginnings of the women's right movement as men returned to go back to work, women who enjoyed working were now faced with resuming the role of a full-time wife and mother, and wanted the respect and recognition that they got in working that was missing in their domestic roles.

That is the stage set for Beneath the Bellemont Sky by Raneè S. Clark. For the Larsen family, having a farm is what helped them to get by during the war and now that the men are beginning to return home, the women in the family are looking forward to having the men take over the farm tasks. Vera and her four children have moved back home after learning her husband wouldn't be coming home after all and a way to help make ends meet. The hardest part for any of them is learning to move forward into an unknown future when all they have known is their past. As the town attempts to resume normal life, Andrew Larsen returns with a French wife and now the town's socialites have decided to snub her at every attempt, partly because one of them had hoped that Andrew might return to marry her instead.

Vera knows she has to find a new start for her life and finds solace in the new teacher that comes to town, Dominick Whitaker, who is finding starting over in a small town might just be what he needs but also brings its own share of problems as well. Vera and Dominick hit it off as friends being in similar places in their futures and find an instant connection in their conversations, one that lasts beyond the time they spend with each other. Will Dominick be ready to take on a ready made family or will something in their pasts keep them apart despite their growing affections for one another?

I received Beneath the Bellemont Sky by Raneè S. Clark compliments of Covenant Communications. I truly LOVE the novels set among the war time because so much was forced to change to help benefit everyone both in serving in the war or supporting those who left behind those empty places. Change was forced whether one embraced it or not. And in a small town of Wyoming, one can only imagine that everyone knew everyone else. When the war came to a close, some women wanted to stay working, and raising a family and not everyone wanted to return back to their former lives, especially when things we so different. I thoroughly enjoyed this novel and give it a 4 out of 5 stars in my opinion.

4.0 out of 5 stars There are many heartwarming moments that will make you love this new novel.
Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2018
This end of World War II novel is centered around the Larsen family that reside in a small Wyoming town. The book is told from different perspectives of siblings in the Larsen family. It showcases how they all are adjusting to life post war.

I loved how loving and supportive the Larsen family is.They are close knit and would do anything to help each other. One of my favorite characters is Vera, a widow with four children. I also really liked her brother Andrew and his new wife, Josette.

The novel is not fast paced, and tends to slow down at times. It does show the struggles of daily life on a farm in the mid 1940's. The heart of the novel is truly the family and their love for each other through good and bad times. Beneath the Bellemont Sky will be enjoyed by those who want to read about good people, dealing with life's trials with the help of a loving family. There are many heartwarming moments that will make you love this new novel.

5.0 out of 5 stars A sweet family story about life after WWII.
Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2018
4.5 stars

BENEATH THE BELLEMONT SKY is a heartwarming story of the Larsen family after the end of WWII, who farm in a small town in Wyoming called Bellemont. It tells the story of the Larsen's two sons and two daughters, all of which have been greatly affected by the war and are all looking for happiness in their lives as they recover. One of the Larsen boys comes home married, but the other boy and the two girls are still searching for their happily-ever-afters. A sweet historical romance full of family, friendship and love that historical romance readers are sure to enjoy.

It took me a little bit to get into this story. I was expecting to be following one story line and so it felt slightly fragmented when there were multiple points of view and several different romances (five romances in total: the Larsen children and one of their daughter's friends). It was a different approach than I generally read, but after I got used to it and invested in this family it didn't bother me. Their lives are so entwined that it would be hard to tell one of their stories without telling anyone else's. I loved how close this family was and how involved they were in each other's lives. I also loved the genuineness, down-to-earth feel of this family and their story. Of course, it helped that I cam to love these characters as well! The small-town setting was another fun aspect of the story.

All the romances were lovely. There was chemistry, friendship, the awkwardness of new love, second love, the sweetness of newlyweds, a little bickering, and the comfortable love of a long-married couple. Pretty much every stage was represented by one couple or another. I also liked that the story wasn't all about romance. It also showed the difficulties of those coming home from the war as well as those who had stayed to keep things moving while most of the men were gone. One women wants to have a career while her fiance thinks she should be a traditional house wife. There is also those who think its wrong for a woman to have helped the war effort as a spy or in the resistance effort. I liked that it gave a fairly representative picture of the time and the little changes and effects the war had. There were a few parts that really brought out my emotions.

In the end, was it what I wished for? I thoroughly enjoyed this story! The characters were lovable and their happily-ever-afters well deserved.

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing
Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2018
I couldn't make myself finish this book, or even make it halfway. The plot was very slow-moving and I didn't like that it was told from so many different viewpoints because none of the plot lines could progress and I just got bored. I've enjoyed other books by this author so I was surprised that I couldn't like this one.
