by Tricia Goyer
The Spanish
Civil War pitted the Spanish Republicans and their
allies, the Soviet Union and the International Brigade,
including many Americans against Franco and his fascist
military troups, machinery and weapons supplied by Hitler
and Mussolini. As in other wars, there were no clear
lines between good and evil. It destroyed lives and tore
Spain apart. \par \par Sophia Grace traveled to Spain to
be with Michael, her fiance, an international
correspondent. She had no idea what she was getting into
and war turned out to be a lot more personal than she
expected. Phillip Stanford, a member of the American
track team became involved in the war because he refused
to leave a friend. And Ritter Agler wanted to win the
heart of Isanna, knowing she admired heroes. These three
and others became entangled in a war that both intrigued
and repelled them. Although Tricia Goyer writes about
war, she never loses sight of the people involved. Her
characters are living, breathing individuals the reader
will remember long after the book is finished. A
fascinating, complex story about a little known time in
world history. ~Reviewed by Barbara Warren 2007, Moody Publishers
