No Neutral Ground (Promise for Tomorrow Book 2)

By Terri Wangard

Description:

Christian historical romance. After his father divorces his mother because of her Jewish ancestry, Rafe and the rest of his family flee Germany. Years later, he returns to Europe… as a B-17 navigator. On the ocean voyage, he meets Jennie, an artist journeying to Sweden. Flying missions against his former homeland arouses emotions that surprise Rafe. Despite being rejected by his homeland, he is troubled by the destruction of Germany and his heart still cries for his father’s love. Sweden may be neutral, but it’s full of intrigue. Jennie assists the OSS at the American legation in Sweden. She thought she’d be doing passive, behind-the-scenes work. Instead, she’s pushed into an active role to gain intelligence and frustrate the Germans. How can Rafe and Jennie succeed in their dangerous roles when they are so conflicted?

Book Takeaway:

Rafe had his father on a pedestal. When his father failed him, Rafe needed to recognize his father's human frailty and acknowledge his father's deep regrets.

Why the author wrote this book:

Book Two of my Promise For Tomorrow series. I discovered a German who had been a Hitler Youth member and fled Germany. He flew bombing missions over Germany. What was his story? And little is known about neutral Sweden in WWII. What was it like?
