Book Description: Only last year, Fannie O'Brien was considered a beauty with a brain, and her future shone bright, despite the war pounding Europe. With her father's sudden death and her brothers overseas, Fannie must now do the work of three men on their 200-acre farm until eight German prisoners arrive and, just as Fannie feared, trouble comes too. Someone seems intent on causing accidents and Fannie is certain the culprit is one of the two handsome older Germans or possibly both. Can she manage the farm, keep the prisoners in line, and hold her family together through these turbulent times?
My Thoughts: I absolutely love the cover of this book. I try not to pick books by their covers but this one called out to me.
And the story! I enjoy stories about WWII and this one was not the run of the mill WWII story.
Such an unique take on not just WWII but farm life.

When Captain Wolfgang Klonginger everyone is suspicious of him because he is German. And things are mysteriously happening. Accidents that could be avoided are going on. Making ice difficult for a few people.
Fannie O'Brien decides to take matters into her own hands She is determined to get to the bottom of this mess.
As Fannie sets out to see what is going on, despite all the work that must done at her farm, she is surprised and, maybe, a bit shocked at what she finds out.
A fantastic read with just a pinch of love, a bushel of intrigue and a dash of everyday farm life.
