In 1944, American naval officer Lt. Wyatt Paxton arrives in London to prepare for the Allied invasion of France. He works closely with Dorothy Fairfax, a Wren in the Women's Royal Naval Service. Dorothy pieces together reconnaissance photographs with thousands of holiday snapshots of France--including those of her own family's summer home--in order to create accurate maps of Normandy. Maps that Wyatt will turn into naval bombardment plans. As the two spend concentrated time together in the pressure cooker of war, their deepening friendship threatens to turn to love. Dorothy must resist its pull. Her bereaved father depends on her, and her heart already belongs to another man. Wyatt too has much to lose. The closer he gets to Dorothy, the more he fears his efforts to win the war will destroy everything she has ever loved. The tense days leading up to the monumental D-Day landing blaze to life under Sarah Sundin's practiced pen with this powerful new series.

I think it's been a couple of years since I've read a Sarah Sundin book but when I heard that she had a new series coming out with 'Normandy' in the name I was intrigued. I'll freely admit that, while I've heard how important D-Day was and even knew the names of at least two of the beaches, I actually really wasn't that aware of the facts behind it. I can't say that anymore. In The Sea Before Us author Sarah Sundin weaves a story of loss, love, and longing, within the facts of one of the most pivotal events in WWII history. The sheer magnitude of the planning behind D-Day is staggering! But make no mistake, The Sea Before Us is by no means dry and boring with endless dusty dates. It did take me a bit to get into the story, I had to take some time to warm up to Dorothy, though I loved Wyatt right off. But then, wham!, I was hooked and couldn't put it down! I read a good half the book in about 3 hours or so! Moving and inspirational with a dash of mystery The Sea Before Us is a MUST read for fans of Sarah Sundin and WWII historical fiction!
