In the midst of a global war, two forsaken souls search for personal peace
In 1943, Private Clay Paxton trains hard with the U.S. Army Rangers at Camp Forrest, Tennessee, determined to do his best in the upcoming Allied invasion of France. With his future stolen by his brothers' betrayal, Clay has only one thing to live for—fulfilling the recurring dream of his death.
Leah Jones works as a librarian at Camp Forrest, longing to rise above her orphanage upbringing and belong to the community, even as she uses her spare time to search for her real family—the baby sisters she was separated from so long ago.
After Clay saves Leah's life from a brutal attack, he saves her virtue with a marriage of convenience. When he ships out to train in England for D-Day, their letters bind them together over the distance. But can a love strong enough to overcome death grow between them before Clay's recurring dream comes true?
My thoughts (LVH): THE LAND BENEATH US is the third and final book in this series and one I was looking forward to with great anticipation. I loved this book and rather hate to see this series end!
Leah was a rather bookish soul, dreaming of someday getting a degree in librarian science. Circumstances out of her control changed her course forcing her to make some hard choices. But through it all, she held fast to God' grace and goodness, enabling her to see the silver-lining behind every cloud.
With Clay dreaming of his death and his future stolen, Clay has nothing to lose and nothing to fear. He needs to become an Army Ranger so he can die the way he dreams. D-Day spells The End of Clay's life, but not in the way he imagined.
As I said earlier, I loved this book and this series. Ms. Sundin is one of the very few historical writers that I absolutely must read. I love her books.
I was given a copy free. All opinions are my own.
