Written by Cara Putman

Narrated by Cecily White

A mischievous light filled her gaze. “What do you think you’re doing, Specialist Chance? Stealing a kiss?”

 He studied her sweet lips and liked the idea.

 A heartwarming WWII historical from award-winning author Cara Putman:

 Anna Goodman’s mother is dead, her father has given up on life, and her brother is missing in action in World War II. Anna’s dreams for the future are held captive by the responsibilities the war and life have thrust upon her. She’s desperate to hold the farm together while working at a war factory in nearby Kearney. She can’t do it alone. She must interact daily with Specialist Sid Chance, the cocky know-it-all who oversees the German prisoners who work on her family farm - prisoners that are a constant reminder of her father’s harrowing experience in World War I.

 As Sid gets to know the determined Anna, he must balance her mistrust against his desire to help farmers. With so many able-bodied men deployed around the world, the prisoners’ labor is essential to save local farms from ruin. He must also battle against prejudice from men like Anna’s father, who can’t stand their presence or the memories they force him to relive. Sid wants to protect Anna; if she’d only let him. Anna’s as skittish as a colt, but he’s determined to win her heart.

 When the farm’s future is at risk, Anna must decide whether she can trust Sid with her heart...and her future.
