Synopsis
A man. A child. A war.
When German soldiers invade France during World War II, young Joyanna's perfect world is shattered. In the hands of those who hate her, she battles to comprehend why people can be so ruthless and cold toward those whom they have never met.
David Sullivan, pilot in the Royal Air Force, was certain he would never hate, but a painful loss forces him to either reconsider or do the inconceivable-forgive. He is suddenly challenged by the realization that doing God's will is not easy, but most important. With the lives of freedom-fighters relying on him, he must learn the difficult lesson that he is not in control, but merely one who must surrender his heart of obedience to One greater.
A sudden turn of events lands Joyanna and David in the same country-but for far different reasons. When their paths cross, David finds he must make a decision that will affect them both for the rest of their lives.
Will he choose vengeance, or will he let his life be ruled by a higher standard?
A standard of Honor.
My Review
This book is the first book of Jesseca Wheaton's Questions of War Series. This book was incredible!!! The faith that was woven throughout the whole book was wonderful. The struggles the characters had were so real. I loved the theme of forgiveness.
Joyanna was so sweet and adorable. Or shall I say feisty? ;) In some ways, Joyanna reminds me of myself as a little girl. Her child-like faith was really special.
David. He is steady, usually calm, and more on the quiet side. David's story is a story of forgiveness. He struggled to forgive, and to let go of the anger and hatred he had in his heart. With God's help, he is able to forgive.
Micah and Gil were a lot a like. Gil teased almost all the time. Micah was more serious, but he did have a sense of humor. I enjoyed reading their stories, even though Gil's was heartbreaking.
Lily and Elaine were really sweet too. Lily was such a strong young woman, even after everything that happened. Her strength and forgiveness towards those who hurt her was beautiful.
I loved the relationship between Gil and David. They were best friends, and did everything together. It was fun to read the scenes between those two. ;)
