HOW HUGE THE NIGHT by Heather & Lydia Munn
Growing up as a youth in war-torn, Nazi-occupied France, Julien Losier finds his very identity threatened by the horrifying and devastating effects of war. At the young age of fifteen, this can be extremely daunting for a teenager and can inflict huge psychological damage.
In "How Huge the Night," Heather and Lydia Munn portray the unseen and unsung heroes of World War 2, grappling to come to terms with heart-searching questions about the goodness of God in the midst of conflicting ethnic tensions in communities torn apart by war.
The devastating horrors of war, the selfless heroism of adolescents and the significant choices they made are vividly portrayed as the authors deftly weave together the lives of ordinary people who promptly chose to focus their immediate attention on those in dire danger and protect them safely from harm. This historical novel, a compelling coming-of-age drama, will inspire people to reflect thoughtfully on their everyday choices and the cost they paid to make those choices.
