I absolutely adore this book and am greatly looking forward to the next two. The whole WWII era is fascinating and Sarah Sundin has made it come alive. The people are very normal who get in real situations. For once the hero and heroine are plain looking. No beautiful, gorgeous models here. They're just normal people. Besides the doing a fabulous job making one feel like one is a part of this era with the different descriptions, the author has some valuable lessons that should make all Christians stop and think about their own lives.
Sylvia~ I feel the same way! I cannot say enough good things about this book. :)
