About this eBook

When the German march across Europe reaches France, young Michelle Naget and her family join the throngs fleeing for safety. But their flight ends in capture by the Nazis, with one member of the family taken, while the rest of the family is sent back to their village of Braquis, France, to serve the enemy who has commandeered their home.

For the next four years, the Nagets live in the crosshairs of the enemy living under their roof and of the neighbors who question the family's loyalties. Every day becomes a test of faith for Michelle-in God, in family, in the hope that the Allies will come, and in the letters from a young French rebel named Légère who promises Michelle that she will be free again.

But when the Nazis' torment increases, and the razor-thin line between life and death narrows for the Nagets, the family’s motto, “We do what must be done,” and Michelle’s faith in God, give her the courage to face her enemy and do whatever she must to protect the family she loves.

THE LETTER CARRIER - Seldom do I come across a historical novel that not only weaves a tapestry of fact and fiction but is true to the period with thoughts, vocabulary and actions. Ms. Lewis has created an emotional, heartwarming story combining the experiences of a real Frenchwoman with the research of the war diaries of General George Patton and other military and French documents by the author herself, with help of Mrs. Roger and her daughter. It is too difficult to review this heartwrenching and uplifting story without going deep into a book report. Plus, I cannot take away from the experience of a first time read. This book is to be discovered as the pages reveal a piece of France, Her locals, Her invaders, and Her rescuers during World War II. The gamut of emotions, actions and reactions, and the importance and strength of hope and Faith added to the wonderful, and not so, characters making this story a must read.

About the author

Laurie (L.C.) Lewis is a weather-whining lover of Tom, her four kids, their spouses, and twelve amazing grandkids. She's also crazy about crabs, nesting boxes, twinkle lights, sappy movies, and the sea. It's documented that she's craft-challenged and particularly lethal with a glue gun, so she set her creative juices on writing, which was less likely to burn her fingers. Born in Baltimore, Laurie will always be a Marylander at heart, but a recent move to a house overlooking Utah Lake makes Utah her new love. Her Maryland years, spent within the exciting and history-rich corridor between Philadelphia, Baltimore, and D.C., made her a politics and history junkie. During a seven-year stint as a science-education facilitator, Laurie honed her research skills, eventually turning to writing full time. The Letter Carrier is Laurie's fourteenth published novel. She writes in multiple genres, penning her women's fiction and romance novels as Laurie Lewis, and her historical fiction novels as L.C. Lewis. She's a RONE Award Winner (The Dragons of Alsace Farm) and was twice named a New Apple Literary Award winner in 2017 (The Dragons of Alsace Farm) and in 2018, winning Best New Fiction (Love on a Limb). She is also a BRAGG Medallion honoree, and she was twice named a Whitney Awards and USA Best Books Awards finalist. Laurie's next book, "Revenge Never Rests," is a romantic suspense novel set to be released in October 2022 by Covenant Communications.
