The new Americana romance from bestselling author Dorothy Garlock, this time set against the backdrop of WWII.Sophie Heller's family immigrated from Germany to Victory, a small town in Illinois, before WWII began. Now that the war has affected the town, the townspeople discriminate against Sophie and her family. When a train derails, it is an accident but the Heller family is blamed. Coming to Sophie's rescue is a teacher from the high school, and despite their cultural differences, a romance starts to bloom.

This one does, indeed, sound interesting. I'd love to read it. I've not read a lot of books set during WWII. Most have been in Europe, so this one is of particular interest.
Please enter me since this would count for the WWII challenge!
I don't remember ever reading any books from this time period - but hey, please count me in.
Why - because it's a BOOK! LOL
Thanks

The only book set in this period that I can think of that I've read is Jude Deveraux's LAVENDER MORNING, which was 2 interwoven stories; one from the present, the other during WWII.
THE MOON LOOKED DOWN sounds like a wonderful read.

The last book that I read that centered on WWII was Hunter by Campbell Jefferys. It was about a Nazi soldier who realized he didn't belive in Hitler's ways and he deserted and later emmigrated to Austrlia. It was very interesting.

I started The Rape of Nanking but it was WAY too depressing for me. That's as close as I got to reading a book about WWII.

I've read a lot of WWI and WWII books, but the first one that came to mind when I read your question was SUMMER OF MY GERMAN SOLDIER by Bette Green. Probably because I read it when I was young and the impression it made is really deep. I'd love to read this book, too -- thanks for the chance to win a copy!

I just finished The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, which I enjoyed. I already subscribe to your feed.
I don't ever recall reading a WWII book (in the last couple decades at least!) I would be interested in reading it as being of German heritage, I would be very interested in learning more about how Americans could discriminatedagainst Germans during that time, I haven't ever heard about that before.
I'd love to read this book. I've read many WWII books, but the one that comes to mind right now is "Night" by Elie Wiesel.
Thanks for the opportunity ~
