“Ciesielski opens the doors to a setting of WWI not yet fully explored by other authors of this genre, allowing readers to discover the intricacies of occupied France in a new and fresh way. With enough secrets to last a lifetime, readers will be on the edge of their seats, cheering on the heroes. Action-filled and captivating, readers who enjoy books with espionage, war, and romance should definitely read this one. Get lost in time in this moving story of faith, freedom, and love.”
—Hope by the Book on Among the Poppies
“From page one, the characters pull you in and keep you reading! J’nell Ciesielski pens her story with beauty and skill.”
