Dear Enemy
Description:
By Jack Cavanaugh, the Christy-Award winning author of more than 25 novels. One night in the Ardennes Forest will change everything she holds dear... December, 1944, Malmedy, France. Annie Rawlings, an army nurse, spends her days and nights patching up the American boys who are fighting the Krauts. Soldiers so young they should be back home, playing baseball and flirting with girls on a Saturday night. Annie can't help but hate the Germans, especially when she hears about the atrocities at the Baugnez crossroads, where Nazis shot the American wounded. All Annie wants is for the war to stop long enough so she and Lieutenant Keith Mitchell can have their longed-for honeymoon in Paris over Christmas. But aircraft continue to roar overhead. Trucks, tanks, and personnel carriers rumble in the distance. More casualties pour in. Then, one snowy night, Annie and her friend Mouse drive an ambulance into the middle of no-man's-land on a desperate mission.... A surprisingly different kind of romance set in the midst of WW II in France. Jack Cavanaugh has scored the top spot on my recommended reading list with this novel. Dear Enemy is one of those rare finds that can be enjoyed by almost any reader. -SARA MILLS, Focus on Fiction. A story of love, friendship, and survival, Dear Enemy is emotional, sentimental and engrossing. -PHILLIP TOMASSO III, In the Library Review. Cavanaugh's strength...is in building up the characters...as they encounter real historical events. He's done so again here. -TIM FRANKOVICH, Christian Fiction Review. I...was intrigued by the plot and excellent description... I'll look for other books by Jack Cavanaugh. -MARIE DISBROW, The Road to Romance. Well written, with descriptive and captivating word pictures. Cavanaugh captures hearts on both sides of the battle line. -CAROLYN SCHEIDIES, Author's Choice Reviews. A gripping story beautifully told. -KATIE HART, Christian Book Previews.com.
