Summary
Summary
In 1944, American naval officer Lt. Wyatt Paxton arrives in London to prepare for the Allied invasion of France. He works closely with Dorothy Fairfax, a "Wren" in the Women's Royal Naval Service. Dorothy pieces together reconnaissance photographs with thousands of holiday snapshots of France—including those of her own family's summer home—in order to create accurate maps of Normandy. Maps that Wyatt will turn into naval bombardment plans.As the two spend concentrated time together in the pressure cooker of war, their deepening friendship threatens to turn to love. Dorothy must resist its pull. Her bereaved father depends on her, and her heart already belongs to another man. Wyatt too has much to lose. The closer he gets to Dorothy, the more he fears his efforts to win the war will destroy everything she has ever loved.
The tense days leading up to the monumental D-Day landing blaze to life under Sarah Sundin's practiced pen with this powerful new series.
Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“Sundin displays her usual knack for weaving historical detail into a rousing war drama in this enjoyable launch of the Sunrise at Normandy series…Faith elements are strong, portrayed as more than mere emotional support; both Dorothy and Wyatt wrestle with and ultimately rely on God during the life-threatening trials they face. Sundin’s lively book combines heart-pounding war action with inspirational romance to great effect.” —Publishers Weekly
“The author…kicks off a new wartime series, mixing her usual excellent historical research with fast-paced, breathtaking suspense…This period romance will have wide appeal.” —Library Journal
“Sundin’s research is fantastic and her historical research is second to none. It’s very obvious that she cares about getting details correct, and they add an incredible dimension to the story because it becomes more than just a romantic tale (although the romance is wonderfully portrayed as well). Love triangles abound, and it’s not clear until the conclusion exactly who will end up together. The mystery surrounding Dorothy’s father’s business adds another layer of intrigue to this fantastic novel.” —RT Book Reviews (4 stars)
