For my full, non-spoiler review: https://christianlovingbooks.blogspot.com/2020/04/come-spring-review.html ( )

It was alright. There should be a sequel ( )

I have to disagree with the editors review above from Publishers Weekly. On the contrary I would have to say this is the first book with Tim LaHayes name on it that is actually well written. And the first book formatted in standard typeset to show the true size of the book. I hope this is a sign of things to come. And that Mr. LaHaye has finally become a true novelist. You will be able to read this in one afternoon.

This small book is about an immigrant who is new to the USA and is trying to follow his dreams and make something of him. The time frame is 1918, and the USA has declared war on Germany. Our protanganist is trying to succeed in the new field of photography, which he views as an art. Of course he fails to get anyone to agree with him that would be a potential customer of said art. And seeing the art they were purchasing at the time, I can understand the hesitation.

Our photographers name is Dylan Cooper, and he so happens to find a love interest that comes from his exact same county in his home country. She has the typical over protective brother. Yet the two still manage to get together. Of course whether it is because he has no money or truly feels patriotic, he enlist in the army. Alas, we learn he is too old and is rejected. And a new magazine called, National Geographic is interested in buying his photos. So he and his love plan to wed and live their lives.

And just when all seems right in the world, the Dept of the Army calls Dylan to duty. And of course being the good man he is he answers the call. We get a very quick sentence on his training and then his wartime experience. Which is in the first and only aerial reconnaissance squadron. The only reason I did not give the book the fifth star it should have out of five. Is that some sad developments happen at home while he is at war. And the book ends in a way that in order to have closure, you must read the next installment. ( )
