Dave made aviation history in WWII's daring Doolittle Raid. Now he's a downed pilot on the run. Miyako made a vow to bury a knife in him. That vow could cost them both their lives.¿ Winner, Cascade Award Finalist, Christy and Carol Awards Inspired by Actual Events "A taut, crisp debut achievement that colorfully evokes the Pacific theater of WWII. Start this one forewarned: it's a stay-up-all-night read." --Jerry B. Jenkins, 21-time New York Times bestselling author China, 1942. Desperate and fleeing a brutal enemy, U.S. airman Dave Delham loses all hope he'll live to see home again. If he manages to survive this mission--somehow--he swears he'll answer God's call on his life. Japan, 1948. In a world where honor means everything, what would you risk to salvage yours? The war has reduced Miyako Matsuura to a street-hardened prostitute, forced to sell herself out--body and soul--to survive. But when the pilot whose bomb stole her little brother's life returns to Japan, she sees her one chance to salvage everything. That quest drives her like the point of a dagger. Two competing vows. Two war-damaged people racing along a deadly collision course. Can tragic histories be redeemed? If you like pulse-pounding tales of redemption that brim with deeply drawn characters and taut suspense, you'll love Linda Thompson's powerful debut novel. Immerse yourself in this award-winning story of courage and redemption today!

Autor

Katelyn (Deb) Miller, RN, Dipl. P.H., BSN has lived with health challenges since her mid-20s, when she began living with an autoimmune disease. Despite a background in nursing, she found nothing to help her regain her health. Katelyn pursued a career in allopathic medicine in nursing for sixteen years before making abrupt changes in her life. Her best decision was becoming an organic master gardener. It led her to the connection between good soil, nutrient-dense food and a great microbiome in the body. Creating a cookbook seemed like the logical next step. The author lives with her husband, Reg, in Anglemont, BC, amid vegetable and flower gardens, and a small fruit orchard and vineyard. Linda Thompson, the author's sister, co-created the book. The many months the two sisters spent in the kitchen creating menu plans and experimenting with new recipes encouraged Linda to begin her own journey to health. She now enjoys a new level of energy each day because of the changes she made to her food decisions and delights in her garden harvests. Linda resides with her husband, Neil, in Erickson, BC.
