Karen Kingsbury (Goodreads Author)
Karen Kingsbury outdid herself on this book. I have read many of her books and this is by far my absolute favorite book by her so far. An excellent love story told in a way that does not make it seem like your typical romance book. The way she has woven characters from her Baxter's series to this story is amazing and many will not realize that she has mentioned these characters before until the end of this book.
Here's the blurb about this story:
In 1941, beautiful Irvel Holland is too focused on her secret to take much notice of the war raging overseas. She’s dating Sam but in love with his younger brother, Hank—her longtime best friend—and Irvel has no idea how to break the news. Then the unthinkable happens—Pearl Harbor is attacked. With their lives turned upside down overnight, Sam is drafted and convinces Hank to remain in Indiana, where he and Irvel take up the battle on the home front.
While Sam fights in Europe, an undeniable chemistry builds between Irvel and Hank but neither would dare cross that line. Then, two military leaders pay Irvel a visit at the classroom where she teaches. The men have plans for her, a proposition to join a new spy network. One catch: She can tell no one.
With Irvel caught between two brothers thousands of miles apart, can love find a way, even from the ashes of the greatest heartbreak?
The focus on the history of WW11 in this book is just as amazing as the love story itself. Irvel is a woman torn between two loves, but her love for her country is what seems most important, and it seems that all will fall into place in her life, until suddenly things change and life as she knows it will never be the same.
