Tricia Goyer writes incredible Amish Fiction, and she writes World War II Era fiction and some non-fiction. A Secret Courage is a WWII era book that details the life of a Photo Investigator. There are spies, double agents, counter spies, and a budding romance. I didn't find this book as enticing as her Amish fiction. With all the characters carrying main roles in the book, there just wasn't enough time or space to develop them all. The setting was well described and fit its role in the book.
Emma is the Photographic Investigator charged with scouring photos of the German countryside looking for weapons installations and possible rocket launch sites.
Will is an artist whose job it is to paint pictures of England where the war has not touched it.
Berndt is a German spy wanting to bring Emma's work down.
Ruth is a German woman taking care of war orphans, but that's only her cover for her duplicitous actions.
Both Will and Berndt want to get to know Emma more because she has information that can help or hurt the English cause by their own agendas.
I wish I could have liked the book better than I did. Three stars.
My thanks to Harvest House Publishing for allowing me to read and review this book.
