Songbird Under a German Moon

Songbird under a German Moon
by
Tricia Goyer

ABOUT THE BOOK:
The year is 1945. The war is over and 21-year-old Betty Lake has been invited to Europe to sing in a USO tour for American soldiers who now occupy Hitler's Germany. The first nights performance is a hit. Betty becomes enthralled with the applause, the former Nazi-held mansion they're housed in and the attention of Frank Witt, the US Army Signal Corp Photographer. Yet the next night this songbird is ready to fly the coop when Betty's dear friend, Kat, turns up missing. Betty soon realizes Franks photographs could be the key to finding Kat. Betty and Frank team up against post-war Nazi influences and the two lovebirds' hearts may find the answers...in each other.
But will they have a chance for their romance to sing? The truth will be revealed under a German moon.

MY THOUGHTS:
No one does WWII historical fiction as well as Tricia Goyer! She masterfully melds the realities of wartime, suspense of impending danger, and the promise of new romance together into a spellbinding book that is hard to put down. Songbird Under a German Moon provides a look at post-war Germany that is seldom seen in books -- the remnants of society full of culture that had been destroyed by the evil of Hitler and the bombs of war. Another terrific book!
