"FLEMING'S RICH PERIOD PIECE IS A SENSITIVE DEPICTION OF ROMANCE AND DIVIDED LOYALTIES DURING WORLD WAR II." -- BookLife Reviews
"A WARM AND TOUCHING STORY ABOUT THE ABILITY OF LOVE AND HUMAN CONNECTION TO STAND THE TESTS OF WAR, HATRED, AND VIOLENCE." - IndieReader
A WORLD AT WAR. TWO SIBLINGS SEPARATED BY 6,000 MILES. THE ENEMY SOLDIER WHO CHANGES THEIR LIVES FOREVER.
It's 1943 in Huntsville, Texas. Stephan, a German army conscript, is imprisoned in one of the first POW camps hastily built in America. The hostile community opposes the enemy on American soil, but Stephan's greatest threat lurks inside the camp, where Nazis demand his loyalty to a cause he despises.
Stephan arrives in Huntsville after his surrender in North Africa where he saves the life of his American interrogator Captain Ralph Bauer. After parting ways, a shaken Ralph discovers a family heirloom that belongs to the prisoner. Obsessed with finding Stephan and returning the keepsake puts Ralph on a collision course for Huntsville, where Stephan begins work on a cotton farm, striking up a relationship with Rose--who is Ralph's sister.
Neither Rose nor Stephan are aware of the other's connection to Ralph. They soon risk the unthinkable in this tense and deeply moving story about a part of World War II few have discovered. When Courage Comes explodes against this rare backdrop, blurs the line between sworn enemies, and delivers hope in the midst of hypocrisy.
