The Storm Breaks Forth Blog & Review Tour

This historical fiction book is written from a perspective of German immigrant families who lived in Wisconsin during World War 1. As the drumbeats of war were growing louder, Peter Bloch and his wife Maren feel conflicted. Maren’s father has not completed his citizenship papers and the anti-German hostility is increasing. The author lets the reader know what it was like to be an immigrant in America during war-time. People of German heritage were suspected of not being patriotic enough. Americans turned against other Americans and many German people were put in internment camps. The author writes from their viewpoint and speaks often of their disgust of the president and the politicians and patriots who were pro-war. The story shares the story of how Peter is drafted to serve and ends up on the front-lines in France. During the horrors of war, Peter and his fellow soldiers live and die in horrible conditions. The book is extremely graphic and talks of blood, guts, body parts, and is hard to read. The book is a Christian Historical Fiction because it talks about the characters going to church, singing hymns, and trying to follow Scripture. Maren shows Christian forgiveness in the end towards her enemy. There is much drama on the battlefield, and I won’t share what becomes of the main characters, but you may be surprised at the ending.
