Book 1: Flame of Resistance by Tracey Goot
Description:
Years of Nazi occupation have stolen much from Brigitte Durand. Family.
Freedom. Hope for a future, especially for a woman with a past like
hers. But that changes the day American fighter pilot Tom Jaeger is shot
down over occupied France. Picked up by the Resistance, Tom becomes the
linchpin in their plan to infiltrate a Germans-only brothel and get
critical intel out through Brigitte, a prostitute rumored to be
sympathetic to the Allied cause.
D-day looms and everyone knows
that invasion is imminent. But so is treachery, and the life of one
American pilot unexpectedly jeopardizes everything. He becomes more
important than the mission to a man who cannot bear to lose another
agent and to a woman who is more than just a prostitute, who finally
realizes that her actions could change the course of history.
Book 2: Wedded to War by Jocelyn Green
(also nominated in the "First Novel" category)
Description:
Tending to the army's sick and wounded meant leading a life her mother does not understand and giving up a handsome and approved suitor. Yet Charlotte chooses a life of service over privilege, just as her childhood friend had done when he became a military doctor. She soon discovers that she's combatting more than just the rebellion by becoming a nurse. Will the two men who love her simply stand by and watch as she fights her own battles? Or will their desire for her wage war on her desire to serve God?
Wedded to War is a work of fiction, but the story is inspired by the true life of Civil War nurse Georgeanna Woolsey. Woolsey's letters and journals, written over 150 years ago, offer a thorough look of what pioneering nurses endured. This is the first in the series "Heroines Behind the Lines: Civil War," a collection of novels that highlights the crucial contributions made by women during times of war.
Book 3: A Wreath of Snow by Liz Curtis Higgs
Description:
All Margaret Campbell wants for Christmas is a safe journey home. When her plans for a festive holiday with her family in Stirling crumble beneath the weight of her brother’s bitterness, the young schoolteacher wants nothing more than to return to the students she loves and the town house she calls home.Then an unexpected detour places her in the path of Gordon Shaw, a handsome newspaperman from Glasgow, who struggles under a burden of remorse and shame.
When the secret of their shared history is revealed, will it leave them tangled in a knot of regret? Or might their past hold the threads that will bind their future together?
As warm as a woolen scarf on a cold winter’s eve, A Wreath of Snow is a tender story of love and forgiveness, wrapped in a celebration of all things Scottish, all things Victorian, and, especially, all things Christmas.
