| Look To The East |
List Price: 12.99 Avillage under siege. A love under fire. France, 1914 At the dawn of the First World War, the small village of Briecourt is isolated from the early battles while a century-old feud between the Toussaints and the de Colvilles still rages in the streets. But when the German army sweeps in to occupy the town, families on both sides of the feud are forced to work together to hide stragglers caught behind enemy lines. Juliette Toussaint may have been adopted from a faraway island, but she feels the scorn of the de Colvilles as much as anyone born a Toussaint. So when she falls in love with one of the men in hiding—a wealthy and handsome Belgian entrepreneur—she knows she’s flirting with danger. Charles Lassone has been waiting in the church cellar, safe from the Germans for the moment. But if he’s discovered, it will threaten the entire village—including Julitte—and could cost Charles his life. Endorsements: "I’ve come to expect excellent prose from Maureen Lang, and Look to the East doesn’t disappoint. Set during World War I, it gives a look into the past that will make you reflect upon the characters and message long after you’ve finished reading. A wonderful read!" —Judith Miller, author of the Postcards from Pullman series "Maureen Lang is a master storyteller! Not only did the plot keep me turning pages, but I found myself enraptured with the heroine’s desire for love, for belonging, and for peace amidst the conflict. Highly recommended!" —Tricia Goyer, author of Arms of Deliverance
