A Girl Scout Troop Joins the Battle of the Atlantic
 
Full of intrigue, adventure, and romance, this new series celebrates the unsung heroes—the heroines of WWII.
 
Ginny Mathis had no intention of staying rooted in the Outer Banks—then war broke out. While working as a clerk for Oregon Inlet ferry, naval officers ask her to be watchful for German U-boats reportedly spotted in the area. To help occupy her younger sister, Ginny enlists the Girl Scout troop she leads to help watch for suspicious activity. Soon the girls are sneaking around, hiding a shipwreck survivor. Ginny must take charge, but is this man the enemy, or does he hold secrets that could turn the tide of the Battle of the Atlantic in the allies’ favor?

Marilyn's thoughts:

 

I was amazed about the knowledge of the Girl Scouts during WWII and their dedication to assisting with the war efforts. On My Honor was engaging from the start with the picturesque words. The characters will stay with you from the young Girl Scouts to Mrs. Mathis the mother of our heroine, Ginny Mathis, after the final word is read. The tale is informative of how German submarines were in the Atlantic Ocean  with spies residing in the Outer Banks to assist their mission. Ginny and her Girl Scouts were dedicated and determined to care for the hero even though it became risky. This historical romance was filled with challenges, suspense, faith and romance till the end.

 

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Barbour Publisher without any obligation to write a positive review. I have expressed my own thoughts. I highly recommend this book and each one in the Heroines of WWII series to bring a clearer picture of less known happenings on America soil.
