2011., Adults, Tyndale House Publishers Call No: FIC LAN Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Series Title: The Great War Volume: #3Summary Note: "Germany, 1918 Four years of fighting have finally ended, and though there is little to celebrate in Germany, an undercurrent of hope swells in the bustling streets of Munich. Hope for peace, fairness -- the possibility of a better tomorrow. It's a dream come true for Annaliese Duray. Young and idealistic, she's fighting on the front lines of Munich's political scene to give women and the working-class a voice in the new government. But she's caught off guard by the arrival of Christophe Brevht, a family friend who's been sent to bring her home. That's the last place she wants to go. Christophe admires Annaliese's passion. Since returning from the war, he's not sure he'll ever believe in anything so deeply again. Yet he can't help but wonder if she's abandoned the faith she once cherished for a system of beliefs she doesn't truly understand. As the political upheaval ignites in Munich, so does the attraction between Annaliese and Christophe. When an army from Berlin threatens everything Annaliese has worked for, she and Christophe face choices that could jeopardize their loyalty, their love, and their very lives." --from back cover.

c2010., Adults, Tyndale House Publishers Call No: FIC LAN Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Series Title: Great War series Volume: #2Summary Note: "Belgium, 1916 The German Imperial Army may have conquered Belgium on its march through Europe, but it can't crush their spirit. An underground newspaper surfaces to keep patriotism alive and bring hope and real news of the war to the occupied country. It may be a whisper among the shouts of the German army, but it's a thorn in their side nonetheless, and Edward Kirkland will anything to keep it in print -- even risk his life. Isa Lassone's family fled Europe at the first rumblings of war. Now, two years later, she sneaks back across enemy lines, determined to rescue Edward -- the man she has loved from afar since she was a child. But will he ever see her as more than the wealthy, silly girl his mother once cared for as a daughter? When Edward refuses to leave, so does Isa, and soon she is drawn into his double life. As the Germans close in, Edward realizes he's put more at risk than he'd planned ... especially the beautiful, smart, yet obstinate young woman who has inconveniently managed to work her way into his life -- and into his heart." --from back cover.
