Book
Description:
In
1943, Private Clay Paxton trains hard with the US Army Rangers at Camp Forrest,
Tennessee, determined to do his best in the upcoming Allied invasion of France.
With his future stolen by his brothers' betrayal, Clay has only one thing to
live for--fulfilling the recurring dream of his death.
Leah Jones works as a librarian at Camp Forrest,
longing to rise above her orphanage upbringing and belong to the community,
even as she uses her spare time to search for her real family--the baby sisters
she was separated from so long ago.
After Clay saves Leah's life from a brutal attack, he saves her virtue with a marriage of convenience. When he ships out to train in England for D-day, their letters bind them together over the distance. But can a love strong enough to overcome death grow between them before Clay's recurring dream comes true?

My Review:
The premise of The Land Beneath Us is interesting and compelling. I enjoyed Leah's story, the search for her sisters, and her determination to rise above her own experience. At that time, orphans were ridiculed and looked down on. Yet, Leah wanted to create a better life for herself and the orphaned children. Clay gave Leah hope in the midst of despair. The perfect gentleman, he showed her what a friend could be. Their story is different from any I've read. The depth of character shines. This is a beautiful story of forgiveness, faith and friendship. I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
