Dasies are Forever Is One Of The Best Historical Fictions I have Read In A While!

This is a book set in one of my favorite time periods. I love reading about and watching movies and documentaries about WWII! I love how this book is full of suspense and mystery. There are many times when you feel like you are sitting on the edge of your seat holding your breath waiting to see what happens. Being based on real stories just makes this book better. I also found it to be very accurate historically and I love the details woven throughout. The nice thing is that with all the tension and excitement there is even some great humor. If you like historical fiction, this is a book you don't want to miss!

About the book:
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.
