About the Book
Widowed seamstress Heidi Wetzel finds new meaning in life by caring for evacuated children on a farm in war-torn western Germany. Never a supporter of National Socialism, she takes pleasure in passive resistance, but must exercise caution around neighbors who delight in reporting to the Gestapo. Having lived in the United States, she wonders about her friend Rachel.
Flying cadet Paul Braedel’s wife dies while he trains for the U.S. Army Air Corps. Following bereavement leave, he joins a navigation class. He’s lost his zest for life and heads to England, not caring if he lives or dies.
When he and his crew are shot down over Germany, he evades capture and, for the first time since Rachel’s death, hears the voice of God whisper guidance. “Find Heidi.”
Heidi meets a man she recognizes from her high school days in America. Aiding a downed airman is punishable by execution, but she agrees to help. Then they’re betrayed.

My Review:
If you are looking for a great book set during World War 2 then Friends and Enemies by Terri Wangard is the book for you. This was the first book by Terri that I have read and I will say that I could not put the book down (or Kindle), I loved the story line she used and it is very clear that she did her research prior to writing this book. This book is full of twist and turns, love, and heartache, a book you definitely will want to read over again.
Terri has outdid her self with Friends and Enemies, I highly recommend this book to others.
Thank you to Celebrate Lit, Terri Wangard, and the publisher for providing me with a ebook copy for my review.
