ABOUT THE BOOK

As three friends who grew up in the same orphanage head off to college together, they each harbor a cherished dream.

Libby Conley hopes to become a famous journalist. Pete Leidig believes God has called him to study to become a minister. And Bennett Martin plans to pledge a fraternity, find a place to belong, and have as much fun as possible.

But as tensions rise around the world on the brink of World War I, the friends' differing aspirations and opinions begin to divide them, as well. And when Libby makes a shocking discovery about Pete's family, will it drive a final wedge between the friends or bond them in ways they never anticipated?

MY THOUGHTS:
I haven't "met" a Kim Vogel Sawyer book I didn't like, and this one is no exception. Several books that I am reviewing this month are set during World War I or in the days leading up to it, and this is one of them. I'm really enjoying reading about this time period, but the challenges these friends face hurt my heart. Will their friendship survive?
