ABOUT THE BOOK

The Storm Breaks ForthTitle: The Storm Breaks Forth
Author: Terri Wangard
Release Date: April 6, 2021
Genre: Christian Historical Fiction

World War I rages in Europe, and now the United States joins in. Peter Bloch heads to France with the Wisconsin National Guard, but his wife Maren is the one under attack. She’s German-born, and anti-German hysteria is running high. Simple suggestions for coping with wartime measures lead Maren into an active role in the community, but her service doesn’t help deflect suspicion from her. Zealous patriots target her with a vengeance. Peter caught the eye of a major who seems intent on using him as a spy. He’s been fortunate to avoid injury so far, but these activities are likely to get him killed. Peter and Maren dream of the day they will be reunited, but more and more, that day appears to be a mirage.

IN MY OPINION

Impeccable research and details of both the front lines and the home front of World War I make The Storm Breaks Forth by Terri Wangard a novel not to miss.

Maren and Peter have faced tragedy in their marriage, but with the declaration of joining the war, their challenges mount. While Peter trains with the Wisconsin National Guard, Maren and her family are under scrutiny because of their German roots.

The way in which Maren continues to contribute to her community despite the treatment she and her family get from some of the locals is admirable. She steps out in courage to take on a few things she’s not comfortable with.

With compelling characters and a moving story line, The Storm Breaks Forth reminds us that prejudice and mistreatment of people is not something specific to today. But it also offers hope because for all those people targeting this family, there are more who stand beside them when battles rage.

    Thank you for the review. It appears that Maren lives out her Christian faith in spite of the prejudice and bad treatment against her.

    War, regrettably, was often used as an excuse to persecute others based on their race or country of origin- and it still goes on today.

    Sounds like a book I’d enjoy reading about since I’m of German ancestry.
