Remember the Lilies (Thomas Nelson, February 2015)
Can Irene and Rand stave off starvation until the American troops bring freedom?
Interred by the Japanese, missionary Irene Reynolds comes across a mysterious note while working at the censor’s office. She memorizes the parts she must black out and delivers it to wealthy nightclub owner Rand Sterling. Before she knows what’s happening, she’s drawn into a web of secrets and danger.
Rand Sterling wants nothing more than to reopen his nightclubs once the war ends. But slimy Frank Covey wants his hand in the till—and has news that could threaten Rand’s reputation if it became public. More importantly, beautiful and intriguing Irene Reynolds cannot discover this information if he expects to persuade her to become his wife.
When Irene is attacked by a sinister Japanese guard and their secrets are exposed, they must learn the true meaning of forgiveness—if they can stave off starvation until the American troops bring freedom.
MY REVIEW-I have been pleasantly surprised by this author again with her new book, Remember the Lilies. The war era is not one of my favorites to read about as I often get bored in the details and for some reason can't find the stories interesting. But not so with Liz Tolsma!
The story begins in Manila Philippines before the war starts and jumps right into the thick of it. We see both main characters as they meet for the first time and then are snatched away from each other as the hero gets thrown in a POW camp. It then fast-forwards a couple months as he tries to escape. The plot is excellent with plenty of twists thrown in that I definitely did not see coming. We see people and the way human nature reacts to tough situations, and the fight for survival. My favorite aspect though? The forgiveness shown. I love a book where we see betrayal or hurt and then forgiveness as God gives. Again, an excellent story!!
