Synopsis:

Since the attack on Pearl Harbor, Gordon Hooper and his buddy Jack Armitage have done “work of national importance” in the West as conscientious objectors: volunteering as smokejumpers, parachuting into and fighting raging wildfires. But the number of winter blazes they’re called to in early 1945 seems suspiciously high, and when an accident leaves Jack badly injured, Gordon realizes the facts don’t add up. 

A member of the Women’s Army Corps, Dorie Armitage has long been ashamed of her brother’s pacificism, but she's shocked by news of his accident. Determined to find out why he was harmed, she arrives at the national forest under the guise of conducting an army report...and finds herself forced to work with Gordon. He believes it’s wrong to lie; she’s willing to do whatever it takes so justice will be done. 

As they search for clues, Gordon and Dorie must wrestle with their convictions about war and peace and decide what to do with the shocking secrets they discover.

My Rating:

Received a copy for review from the publisher.

Amy Lynn Green's writing is so engrossing. I was pulled into the setting and felt like I was with them on the front lines at times. Gordon and Dorie were such a pair! They were both real and raw and felt like "real" people. Their bond was just too adorable to me. The writing and suspense was captivating as well, especially with Jack being injured. I think Amy did a fantastic job. I could see myself reading more of her works in the future.

Blessings,
