EUROPE, 1944
Katrine, a Czech Jew, is so successful in her attempt to pass as an Aryan that she finds herself dating a Nazi officer. Having convinced him of her genetic purity, the officer sends her to stay at a Lebensborn home--a Nazi breeding program in which children are raised and indoctrinated by the state.
Meanwhile, two friends, Mary and Lee, one a socialite, the other a working class girl, land similar reporting jobs at the New York Tribune on the eve of the war’s outbreak. Now rivals with assignments on the frontlines of war-torn Europe, Lee joins troops sailing for Normandy, while Mary's destiny lies in the cramped quarters of a B-17 bearing down on Berlin. Before the presses roll, their lives will be indelibly marked by a caring American navigator, brave French resistors, and a maniacal Nazi officer. Arms of Deliverance is a story of unexpected redemption.
A very realistic read. The author has done an excellent job of making it feel like you are really there. I will be looking forward to reading other books by Tricia Goyer.

Thanks for having me. I really appreciate it!!!
Boy, that really seems like an interesting story. I've always been interested in that Lebensborn stuff because my mother's cousin in Germany almost got sent off to one.
Well, I'm just going around making the rounds of blogs in on the CSFF blog tour list.
God bless you.
