Heroines of WWII series

Fannie O’Brien doesn’t want German prisoners of war helping with the work of her family’s Wisconsin farm. Because of her father’s recent death and her two older brothers off fighting the war in Europe, she accepts her mother’s decision. Fannie and her younger siblings can’t handle the workload. They’ll lose the crop without help.

German POW Captain Wolfgang Klonginger knows that he and seven others soldiers—most of them his former students—could have done far worse. He’s grateful for a chance to put in long days at the farm. As the summer passes, Fannie captures his attention. He admires her work ethic and her compassion.

But one of the soldiers isn’t grateful.

Musch has woven another mesmerizing tale that immersed me into the drama from the beginning. Believable characters tugged at my emotions in this well-written story.

The author dug deeply into the emotions of characters on both sides of the conflict. This page-turner gripped my attention. Well-done!  

This isn’t the first novel I’ve read by this author nor will it be the last. I love her ability to transport readers back in time.

I highly recommend this novel to lovers of WWII novels.
