Today’s book giveaway is for the inspirational historical fiction book Daisies are Forever by Liz Tolsma.
Synopsis from the back of the book:
The fall of the Third Reich is imminent. As the merciless Red Army advances from the East, the German people of Prussia await the worst.
Among them is twenty-year-old Gisela Cramer, an American living in Heiligenbeil with her cousin Ella and their ailing grandfather. When word arrives that the Russians will invade overnight, Ella urges Gisela to escape to Berlin — and take Ella’s two small daughters with her.
The journey is miserable and relentless. But when Gisela hears the British accent of a phony SS officer, she poses as his wife to keep him safe among the indignant German refugees. In the blink of an eye, Mitch Edwards and Gisela are Herr and Frau Josep Cramer.
Through their tragic and difficult journey, the fabricated couple strives to protect Ella’s daughters, hoping against hope for a reunion. But even as Gisela and Mitch develop feelings beyond the make-believe, the reality of war terrorizes their makeshift family.
With the world at its darkest, and the lives of two children at stake, the counterfeit couple finds in each other a source of faith, hope, and the love they need to survive.

I believe my Mother showed more courage having survived a ruptured brain aneurysm, a nasty case of vaginal cancer and then being diagnosed with Alzheimer. As tough as it was for us to go through it with her, I can only imagine how difficult it was on her. She earned her place in her heavenly home!

My twin sisters both passed away from different kinds of cancer within 3 months of each other. One had been battling it for almost 20 years and ended up being wheelchair bound. The other one had it for several years and had chemo every month for all that time, had to have her hip replaced, and several other surgeries before passing away. They faced it all with great courage and faith.
Wow Winnie. I’m awed and sorry at the same time. Such a great loss. 🙁 Thank you so much for sharing it with us.
So many that know that are caregivers, battle physical/health related issues & some just everyday life. Yet, they all go on in spite of it looking to Jesus for their strength. They are all an inspiration to me.
I so agree Lisa. Isn’t it amazing that when we look around we see so much courage? Thanks for commenting. 🙂

My husband – he was diagnosed with a rare liver disease with his only hope being a liver transplant. His faith was strong and even though he was extremely sick, he continued to go to work every day to provide for his family. After 2 to 2 1/2 years, he got his transplant and began the long recovery.
That is definitely courage Donna. I am so glad that your husband was able to get his transplant. What a hero he is. Thanks for sharing that with us. 🙂
My friend Judy who has many health problems but just keeps barreling through it all. She even went to be with her friend who has worse health issues, to nurse her back through some difficult situations. She is so sunny through the whole thing.
That is so sweet Paula. Thanks for sharing your friend with us. 🙂
Another friend who stood by her son while he waited for a kidney and during that time had to deal with her husband’sbad health and then he died while she was at church. A brush fire overtook him, but they think he may have collapsed first. Such a hard thing for her to go through. Also lost a dog, her companion through it all. Good news her son’s transplant was a success!
Oh my goodness. What great courage that takes to walk through those kinds of trials. Thank you for sharing that Paula. 🙂
My children; being a single mother with two jobs, they are so understanding and courageous through everything we struggle through in life.
