This is one of the best books i have read in a long time. It give you a different look at world war 2 most of the books show the two sides a black and white the germans and the others. This book shows what it is like in a new way when the line are not so cut and dried. The two main people show how things can blur and what it was like if the germans did not like what you were doing, and how a no fighting coutry faired in the war. also you get an inside look at what a missonory when throught in a new place. I would recomend this book to people who like WW2 books and people who just like a good read

This 36th installment in the House of Winslow series by Gilbert Morris stumbles upon unexpected trouble in unexpected places. Mallory Winslow is the daughter of the line of Winslows who make the mission field of Africa their home. We pick up Mallory's story as she embarks upon her own call to missions... not to the dark heart of Africa, but to a little-known people group in the northern most reaches of Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia, the Lapps. You might think her troubles would center around reaching and befriending this nomadic group. However, she finds her life tossed into chaos because of the place and time in which she lives... Europe from 1935 to 1940. Follow Mallory as she seeks to live for God in the midst of unexpected foes and unlikely friends.The Unlikely Allies: 1940 The Unlikely Allies #36)
