Hi there! Do you have any novels about a woman not so much fighting or spying in WWII, but getting through it in day-to-day life as bombs fall on her city or she struggles to play the rolls of mom and dad as her husband is gone? (Not that I have a problem with the first! :-))
Sarah Sundin
Hi Faith! My first twelve novels had primarily American characters, and a few of the women dealt with the US Home Front (A Distant Melody, Blue Skies Tomorrow, Through Waters Deep, Anchor in the Storm, When Tides Turn, and The Land Beneath Us), but no bombs falling - and only one of those involves a married woman (The Land Beneath Us). My most recent five books have been set in Europe, and have featured women in dangerous situations, often getting involved with the resistance. Embers in the London Sky comes closest to what you describe - the heroine is indeed dealing with bombs falling and the difficulties of life in the London Blitz - but she's a widow in search of her little son.

Recently I've been listening to the soundtrack for a Broadway musical called 'Bandstand' that takes place after WWII following the struggles of the service men and a war widow. I absolutely love it, and it made me wonder if you think you would ever write a book or series based off of a similar plot? I think it would be really interesting to have more stories showing how America was effected after the war.

Hi, Sarah! It's great to connect with you this way. I discovered your writing with the Sunrise at Normandy series and read my way back to the Wings of Glory set. You are one of my favourite authors. As I recently re-read A Distant Melody, I wondered if you would ever write any contemporary fiction. Would you? I think it would be great fun to read your wonderful faith-voice set in 'modern' times. :-D
