Betti's Reviews > Spies & Sweethearts

Life can be tough when you are the youngest - somehow you never seem to measure up to your older siblings. Emily had excelled in school, becoming fluent in French, and working as a high school French teacher. But surely there was more that she could do for the war effort than be a plane spotter. The Office of Strategic Services (OSS) agreed with her.

Gerard had moved up the ranks in the military only to be pushed into an assignment he really did not want, but deserved due to insubordination. Now he was to go undercover as the husband of a former French high school teacher now radio operator. All he wanted was revenge for his brother’s death. Could they learn to work together, trusting God with their lives?

What a fabulous story of survival, adventure and rescue by two spies sent from the US to France. The author has done a great deal of research into how the resistance worked during the war. Their willingness to step out and do what they could was a real eye-opener. I have to wonder if we would be available to do the same if we were in the same situation.
