Inspired by true life adventures, Darker the Night looks at life in Germany during WWII through the eyes of a civilian. It is a fascinating story of an extraordinary young woman persevering through the challenges of love and war. Hedy Weiß spent her childhood marching with her Hitler Youth group through the hills of western Germany. When the Fürher’s troops march across Europe, she strives to become a physical therapist. The Nazis, however, has other plans. Suddenly she finds herself assembling airplanes, dodging bombs, battling hunger, and standing up to invading tanks. As the pride in her country diminishes with her experiences, her father reminds her, “The darker the night, the brighter the stars.” Is her star the charming American Counter-Intelligence Agent who keeps appearing in the oddest places? Hedy must decide between her love of country and her newfound desires. Fans of Kristen Hannah's Nightingale will enjoy this book.
