First of all – there is a contest at Tricia’s site [through 4/2/10] if you would like to enter to win a copy of this book.
Second – my thoughts about this book: What would I change? It took about half the book for the plot to start moving. I was waiting and waiting for things to get started. What did I like? I enjoyed the music elements of this book as well as the fancy dresses and opulent opera house. I admired the way the heroine, Betty, admits to treating her family wrong. I liked that her Bible went with her and comforted her. I admired the hero, Frank, for his every day respectfulness as well as his initiative in completing his schooling.
Tricia Goyer managed to balance a compassion for German citizens, respect for US soldiers, and a lingering hatred of Hitler that was prevalent in the 1940s.
Third – the backcover copy:
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.
