The rumblings of war in distant countries mattered little to Danny McClain. Growing up in Chicago, his world revolved around afterschool jobs, a rescued beagle, his pen pal in Holland, and the Cubs' chance to go to the World Series. Then, in December of 1941, news of the attack on Pearl Harbor hit much too close to home. In a few years, Danny found himself in the copilot seat of a B-17, stationed with the 390th Bomb Group in Framlingham, England.
Anya Versteeg had been just a teenager when Hitler's troops invaded her homeland of Holland in May of 1940. Forced to grow up much too fast, the feisty preacher's daughter eagerly immersed herself in the Dutch Resistance. Certain that God had turned his back on Holland, she did whatever she had to do to save her country before it was too late.
By 1945 the people of occupied Holland were starving. Thousands were dying every day. Then, just days before the war ended, help came to the Netherlands like manna from heaven.
Operation Chowhound held special meaning for Lieutenant Danny McClain. Somewhere below, in the battered land of tulips and windmills, was the girl who needed rescuing, and he would move heaven and earth to find her.

What was distracting, unfortunately, was the narrator. A little nasal, a little vocal fry, and an absolute inability to pronounce several vowel sounds, usually substituting a short "a" (a pig is a "pag"). I nearly abandoned the story at several points. And while I love book series, I can't see trying to get through the other two books in the trilogy (she narrates the others; I checked).
It claims heading optional but it requires one, so

This is just a wholesome story if a family drawn into war. And specifically a boy who becomes a man.
It is predictable. There are some inconsistencies and overused expressions. But it is enjoyable.
A Very Pleasant Story of Love And War
