Why read it?

1 author picked A Brighter Dawn as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

With the world spinning out of control these days, I’ve wondered what I would do if the same problems as WW2 erupted again.

This book has one timeline set in WW2, and follows a Mennonite family—some of whom embraced Hitler’s ideologies. My family ancestry is Mennonite, and this story is both shocking and realistic.

It gave me a better understanding of why faith-based groups can slide into hate-filled ideologies without even noticing. And it can happen to the best of us! I think this series is incredibly important. 

From Patricia's list on immersive Amish romances.
