ABOUT THE BOOK:
The year is 1945. The war is over and 21-year-old Betty Lake has been invited to Europe to sing in a USO tour for American soldiers who now occupy Hitler’s Germany. The first nights performance is a hit. Betty becomes enthralled with the applause, the former Nazi-held mansion they’re housed in and the attention of Frank Witt, the US Army Signal Corp Photographer. Yet the next night this songbird is ready to fly the coop when Betty’s dear friend, Kat, turns up missing. Betty soon realizes Franks photographs could be the key to finding Kat. Betty and Frank team up against post-war Nazi influences and the two lovebirds’ hearts may find the answers…in each other.
But will they have a chance for their romance to sing? The truth will be revealed under a German moon.

My Thoughts:
I absolutely loved this book. I have always had a thing for anything to do with WWII, both fiction and non-fiction. I didn’t want to put this book down from the first page and fell in love with the characters from the start. Tricia Goyer does a remarkable job drawing you into the time of the story (1945), and really feeling the depth of the impact that the war had on the hearts and lives of the individuals who were there, both American and German. You can’t help but feel like you are right there with Betty Lake and Frank Witt as the circumstances surrounding their jobs in Germany continuously throw challenges their way both in their relationships with their co-workers/friends as well as with each other. I felt like I was really in their story with them, and love how authentic and real it all felt. It wasn’t too sappy, too gory, or too fake but a perfect blend of love, history, faith and adventure. I look forward to reading more from Tricia Goyer and hope that you will hop over to your favorite bookstore and pick up a copy for yourself and/or your loved one who enjoys any story that takes place in the time of WWII.
