My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I just finished reading this great book. I've read all three and love that the stories seem to continue in each. If you enjoy reading WWII stories these books are for you.
Ray Novak's and Helen Carlise's story is hard to put down. Helen really has had a hard life, and wants a better life for her young son Jay-Jay. Ray Novak wants to be a preacher like his Dad, but he doesn't want to be pegged for a coward.
Can these two different people put their lives together? We travel back to England and then to Germany. Lt Novak will give you a few chuckles in this area, and he was helping the war effort! The descriptions Sarah uses put me right in that books store with Lt Novak, and living in that Cellar!
Life was different for woman back in the 40's and men did control most everything. I felt so sorry for Helen, and Jay-Jay. In some ways she had very little choice, but loved the strength she received from God.
I received this book from the Publisher Revell, and was not required to give a positive review.
There is also a giveaway on Sarah's site of a Kindle and Apron.

Maureen - thank you so much for that lovely review! I'm so glad you enjoyed the whole series. The bookstore scene was one of my favorites :) That little old lady displayed the true hospitality I found when I got to visit Bavaria.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy reading books in that time frame. Can't wait to read Blue Skies Tomorrow. I've heard great things about it.
