About the Book
Daisies Are Forever
Gisela must hold on to hope and love despite all odds in the midst of a war-torn country.
Gisela Cramer is an American living in eastern Germany with her cousin Ella Reinhardt. When the Red Army invades, they must leave their home to escape to safety in Berlin.
However, Ella is a nurse and refuses to leave, sending her young daughters with Gisela. During their journey, Gisela meets Mitch Edwards, an escaped British POW. She pretends she is his wife in order to preserve his safety among other Germans, especially one wounded German soldier, Kurt, who has suspicions about Mitch’s identity. Kurt also has feelings for Gisela and tries to uncover the truth about her “marriage.”
Their journey to Gisela’s mother in Berlin is riddled with tragedy and hardship, but they strive to keep Ella’s daughters safe so they can reunite with their mother. During the journey Gisela and Mitch begin to develop feelings for one another beyond friendship. They reach Berlin, but their struggles are far from over. Gisela and Mitch must learn to live for the day and find hope in the darkest of circumstances.
In this moving, historically accurate portrayal of WWII Germany, the characters learn that, even with destruction all around them, some things last forever.

My review;
It is very hard for us to understand what others must do during their lives to save themselves and others from certain death. The author Liz Tolmsa has written with such feeling that you can almost imagine the fear that they do. Gisela Cramer is an American who gets caught up in the horrible events of war. She has fled with her cousins 2 little girls to try to escape the horror. Their story is one of horror and everyday fear that this would be their last. Death is all around them. Gisela protects the 2 children like they were her own. Will she be able to get them to safety? This is a story of faith that everything will be okay, family loyalty and love for others. I give this book a 5/5. I was given this book by Litfuse Publicity Group and all opinions are my own.
