The Road Remembered by Kaye D. Schmitz
In the final months of World War II, Sam Ryan is trained to kill as a new soldier in the 89th Infantry Division on the front lines in Europe. But since the thought of taking the life of another human being contradicts the way he was raised, how, he wonders, will he ever reconcile the action his head dictates with the way his heart feels about it?
On the other side of the war, Gerda Ziegler is appalled at the monster her beloved Germany has become, but she finds a way to whisk Jewish children out of harm’s way, right under the noses of the brutal Nazis. When one of her fellow resistance fighters is discovered and killed, she is terrified, but determined to save more children than ever. But at eight-months pregnant with a suspicious husband, how many more will she be able to rescue?
Sam and Gerda face their enemies head-on, but they also battle internal elements on their own sides of the fighting that violate their shared values of humanity. They meet under the worst of circumstances but find a way to help each other through the trauma of war.
