ABOUT THE BOOK

Series: Heroines of WWII
Author: Naomi Musch
Publisher: Barbour Fiction
Release Date: June 1, 2022
Genre: Christian, Historical Romance
โGet Your Farm in the Fightโ - The Realities of WWII Come to a Wisconsin Farm
Only last year, Fannie OโBrien was considered a beauty with a brain, and her future shone bright, despite the war pounding Europe. With her fatherโs sudden death and her brothers overseas, Fannie must now do the work of three men on their 200-acre farmโuntil eight German prisoners arrive and, just as Fannie feared, trouble comes too. Someone seems intent on causing โaccidents,โ and Fannie is certain the culprit is one of the two handsome older Germansโor possibly both. Can she manage the farm, keep the prisoners in line, and hold her family together through these turbulent times?
Full of intrigue, adventure, and romance, this series celebrates the unsung heroesโthe heroines of WWII.
MY THOUGHTS
This book got me from the first paragraph of the dedication and it did not disappoint.
"First and always, this is for Jesus, 'the author and finisher of our faith' who somehow never fails to teach me important truths through this process of imagining, crafting, writing, and editing a story. He even uses my characters to put themes into my heart and lessons in my life for which I hadn't had a clue. He's so good."
It is the story of a woman (Fannie) and the remnant of her family making do because her father is deceased and her two older brothers off to war.
She puts her education to the side and digs into her family farm. Her crew becomes her sixteen-year-old brother (Jerry) and thirteen-year-old baby sister (Patsy). The struggle is real but they are coping until crop harvesting time when the urgency of the harvest puts them in a very uncomfortable position. At her mom's insistence, they will get help...from POW's to help with the harvest.
Isn't that just how God works? When the Enemy means evil for our lives, God turns it into goodness!
I've realized that I am not a fan of books that are not contemporary or futuristic, but Naomi Musch hit a homerun in this book!
If you love great character growth and development, a crisis of faith that is overcome and love that bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things and never dies...this book is for you.
While reading I experienced strong emotions of anger, sadness and joy; once I started reading it, I finished it in two days.
If I weren't a fan of happy endings, I might poke holes at some of the outcomes. (Spoiler! So not telling.) But I am so this gets โญโญโญโญโญ stars.
