Season of My EnemyBy Naomi MuschDescription:
The realities of WWII come to a Wisconsin farm bringing hope and danger. Book Takeaway:Hatred is a poison that can infect anyone, and only God can change the human heart. Nevertheless, He desires that we forgive our enemies and even love them. How that looks in action depends upon the situation, but when it happens, the outcomes can sometimes surprise us. Why the author wrote this book:I was enthralled when I discovered that thirty-eight prisoner-of-war branch camps were scattered about my home state of Wisconsin during WWII, and that the Germans housed in the camps were hired out to work with citizens on area farms and in canning factories. In reading a lot of true accounts of that period, it was not difficult to imagine a story where a group of German prisoners is sent to help with the crops on a family farm in NW Wisconsin. |
