A Purpose True

By Gail Kittleson

Description:

Though War Breeds Cruelty and Injustice, Grace Yet Prevails.

Southern France - Spring, 1944

German panzer units crisscross the region, dealing ruthless reprisals against the French Resistance, and anyone suspected of supporting its efforts. Secret Operations Executive (SOE) agent Kate Isaacs is tasked with providing essential radio communications with the Allies, while her guide, Domingo Ibarra, a Basque shepherd-turned-Resistance fighter, dedicates himself to avenging the destruction of his home and family.

Thrown together by the vagaries of war, their shared mission, and common devotion to liberty, the last thing Kate and Domingo anticipate is the stirring of affection that threatens to blossom into love. But how can love survive in the midst of the enemy’s relentless cruelty toward innocent citizens?

Everything hinges on the success of the Allied Invasion - L’Invasion.

Book Takeaway:

Horrible evil unleashed cannot quell the power of the human spirit to grow and contribute.

Why the author wrote this book:

Kate and Domingo's stories find closure in this novel. We learn from history, and the Waffen SS atrocities as they crossed southern France must be remembered and embraced.
