Author Debby Lee weaves historical facts into her fictional story of Mary Wishram, a member of the Yakama Indian tribe who offers to aid the war effort by becoming a spy. Will her willingness to become a spy help bring her missing POW brother home safely and also help her Japanese friends who are in an internment camp?
This new book is the latest addition to the Heroines of WWII series and it's a tribute to a special group of heroes who used their native language to transmit secret Allied messages in the Pacific during the war. Lee blends these facts with a romance between Mary and John Painted Pony, a Navajo Marine who is secretly a Code Talker. Will their romance survive the differences between their two tribes, the secrets that follow them, and the immense danger of serving in WWII? Beneath a Peaceful Moon is an enjoyable blend of history, romance, and a faith message that reminds us that God is always with us, in good times and bad, during war or in peace.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from Barbour Publishing and was under no obligation to post a review.
