Tricia Goyer's Arms of Deliverance

Happy Thursday, BGs. Almost to the weekend!

This year I want to take time every few weeks to bring a book to your attention. I'll try to feature books from all genres, hoping to have something for everyone.

Today, in league with the Christian Fiction Blog Alliance's feature of the week, I bring you Tricia Goyer. Tricia's a pal of mine, so I can personally attest that she's a great gal and a solid, grounded woman of God. She's been a guest at our Idaho home. In fact, she's one of the crazy authors who meet at our Idaho house each year for a four-day brainstorming and play session. So it's with great joy that I see her novels released--because our writers' group often gets to help plot them.

Tricia puts a lot of hard research into her historical novels. She's interviewed dozens of World War II veterans for their stories. You can read these Unforgettable Stories from World War II on Tricia's Web site.

Tricia also writes nonfiction for the GenX generation. In fact, Tricia writes so much, and so many books a year, that she makes me look like a lazy slob.

Enough of my opinion. Here's the official word from CFBA:

ABOUT THE BOOK:

The fourth and final novel in this exhilarating series capturing the tales of men and women swept into World War II.

EUROPE, 1944: Katrine, a Czech Jew, is so successful in her attempt to pass as an Aryan that she finds herself dating a Nazi officer. Having convinced him of her genetic purity, the officer sends her to stay at a Lebensborn home--a Nazi breeding program in which children are raised and indoctrinated by the state.

Meanwhile, two friends, Mary and Lee, one a socialite, the other a working class girl, land similar reporting jobs at the New York Tribune on the eve of the war’s outbreak. Now rivals with assignments on the frontlines of war-torn Europe, Lee joins troops sailing for Normandy, while Mary's destiny lies in the cramped quarters of a B-17 bearing down on Berlin. Before the presses roll, their lives will be indelibly marked by a caring American navigator, brave French resistors, and a maniacal Nazi officer. Arms of Deliverance is a story of unexpected redemption.
