Rachel's mothers life is being taken by TB. This only instills a sharper longing to find and connect with, the man who fathered her. She has a sketchbook that belonged to him and knows he was from Italy. As an artist, he may have money to help save her mother's life. But there is also a war raging and Rachel has to find a way to travel to Italy. She uses her job as a photojournalist to get to Italy and hopefully locate him. Then, she meets Scott, a man working to save the Italian monuments from the destruction of war, and some things change. Will Scott be able to protect the monuments and Rachel? Will love spark between them? Will Rachel find her biological father and get the help her mother so desperately needs? All of these questions and much more will be answered as you travel the pages of this book.
This is a wonderful book filled with rich characters, scenery, and story. I hadn't really paid much attention to the work of the Monuments Men, but this book has kindled a desire to learn more about them. I enjoyed the strong female character, Rachel, and watching her deal with the struggles that came her way. If you enjoy books based on historical events with a love story and other twists and turns thrown in, this book is for you! I can't read more by Cara Putman. I received my review copy from Litfuse Publicity Group in exchange for participation in the blog tour.
