Land That I LoveBy Gail KittlesonDescription:Set in the German Hill Country of Texas during World War II, this is more than a love story. It is about the racism and bigotry that still exist in our world. As these characters struggle with the problems of everyday life, they teach us that we survive hard times by being good neighbors despite our differences and that hatred can be conquered by love, understanding and forgiveness. Book Takeaway:Tenacious love can overcome hatred that so easily besets the human soul. Why the author wrote this book:Our society needs the deep lessons of charity and fortitude that World War II teaches. |
