About this listen
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.

Munich, 1938. Evelyn Brand is an American foreign correspondent as determined to prove her worth in a male-dominated profession as she is to expose the growing tyranny in Nazi Germany. To do so, she must walk a thin line. If she offends the government, she could be expelled from the country - or worse. If she fails to truthfully report on major stories, she'll never be able to give a voice to the oppressed - and wake up the folks back home.

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.

It's not just a thousand miles that separates Hanna Majewski from her younger sister, Stefa. There is another gulf—between the traditional Jewish ways that Hanna chose to leave behind in Warsaw, and her new, independent life in London. But as autumn of 1940 draws near, Germany begins a savage aerial bombing campaign in England, killing and displacing tens of thousands. Hanna, who narrowly escapes death, is recruited as a spy in an undercover operation that sends her back to her war-torn homeland.

SOOO GOOD!!!
I wish I could give this one 6 stars! The characters are so real and their problems and growth natural. Narration superb with excellent Scottish and British accents and a pretty fair Texas drawl as well. One of the best audio books ever. I’m going to look for more Sarah Sundin books immediately!

Too much religion
I was looking for a good story about D-Day and stumbled on this series. it was an interesting romantic story and I loved the narrator but too much romantic drama and not enough history for me but it was a good free place holder between credit required books so I'll read the next one too

Strong Characters
The story was great and I thoroughly enjoyed listening. I love stories about World War II and the contributions of woman in addition to the experiences of men at war. This story also had romance and the importance of faith in God. Plan to read more novels by Sarah Sundin. Narrator was great, too.

Even it the mist of WWII, love did bloom!
While serving as a British WREN (British women’s Navy active duty), she was serving in the Allied Supreme command intelligence unit, part of a select team planning the Allied invasion into France. When she meets Wyatt, he’s a U.S. Navy officer in the same offices. They become great friends. But she has her heart set on a more senior officer known from her youth. Romance and twists and turns keep the reader turning pages all through Normandy Invasions. Great plot! Pay attention or you will miss the many surprises! Great narration! Highly recommend!

Learn more about D-Day preparation by reading this
As always, well written and researched. A novel about D-Day and the preparation for it. As this is a Christian author, the characters also increase in confidence in themselves and in the Atonement of Jesus Christ.
