Summary

Contending valiantly against the Nazi threat in war-torn Europe, two sisters unite to thwart a sinister plan, in this third book in Elyse Larson's Women of Valor series.

Uncovering a diabolical Nazi plot, Marge Emerson is secretly reassigned to a medical post in France. There she meets a conscientious objector and finds his outspoken belief in God a challenge to her own fragile faith. When David shares his desire to return to Europe after the war and build an orphanage for Germany's homeless children, Marge is drawn to this selfless, compassionate man. Meanwhile, Marge's sister, a war correspondent, is recruited for intelligence work by an American Secret Service agency and quickly becomes involved in an intricate web of espionage.

When Marge and Em are unexpectedly reunited in France, they attempt a daring rescue. They must try to escape the sinister forces that are closing in on them.

Great book

Very good book so much so that I could not put it down so once I started I had it on every day and then towards the end very late into the early hours so I could finish it.

Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!

Such a beautiful storie about love and loss, suffering and adventure.

Both sisters are so relatable and their struggles, both physical and emotional, really depicts how the war was.

The level of detail is exquisite, the plot literally had me on the edge of my seat. The romanses were so beautifully real.

It really put into perspective how the war was faught with a lot more than just guns and armies. I loved the world of journalism and intelligents that is opened up in this book.

1000℅ recommend.

Thanks Audible, Elyse Larson, Vannessa Benjamin and Blackstone Audiobooks.
