Touch the Face of God: A WW II Novel
Based on actual accounts, this epic adventure encompasses several interconnected lives caught up in the maelstrom of war in Europe and North Africa and on the U.S. home front. Bomber pilot Mark White struggles to stay alive in England while using letters to woo Emily Hagan, his "Rosie the Riveter" from back home. Mark's best friend in his unit is Chaplain Lee Grant. Having bitterly disappointed his father by becoming a pastor, Lee seeks to do more than just minister to his men: he wants to be an active combatant. As the war rages on, the stories of these characters and many others intertwine with devotion and faith, binding them and the plot together. First novelist Vaughan, a retired military officer, writes in a brisk, straight-to-the-gut style. His engrossing historical will appeal to male readers. Highly recommended for most collections.Copyright 2002 Reed Business Information, Inc.
