United States—Monday, June 2, 2025

Sandra Schoger Foster “For Whom My Heart Yearns” will be available tomorrow, June 3, 2025 and ebook free to download for five days through June 7, 2025.

Against the backdrop of post–World War I Europe, “For Whom My Heart Yearns” by Sandra Schoger Foster invites readers on a suspense-filled journey that spans continents, cultures, and matters of the heart. Set in 1924 Romania, this historical fiction novel introduces Annalise Reinhardt, a young woman who cherishes her life of music and nature – until an unexpected tragedy forces her and her guardian to flee for their lives.

What follows is a compelling transatlantic escape that unfolds aboard trains, steamships, and finally at Ellis Island. Along the way, Annalise encounters two men – Carl Schuster and Razvan Pacula – whose destinies are forever linked by a shared secret and a growing affection for the same woman.

“What a riveting story filled with so many great twists and turns,” says Mary Rice Hopkins, recording artist, songwriter, TV host, and author.

But this is more than a historical romance. Woven into the fabric of the story is the question every heart faces in times of upheaval: Can we trust God when everything familiar is stripped away? With rich detail and spiritual depth, “For Whom My Heart Yearns” explores what it means to surrender to God’s leading – even when the path seems unclear and love seems out of reach.

Whether you’re drawn to stories of immigrant journeys, captivated by tales of romance amid turmoil, or simply longing for fiction that inspires deeper faith, “For Whom My Heart Yearns” will speak to your soul.

Sandra Foster’s paperback will be available on Tuesday, June 3 with the e-book free to download on Amazon for 5 days, Tuesday, June 3 through June 7, 2025.
