As America pulls itself out of the Great Depression, war clouds are hanging low over Europe, and
Adolph Hitler’s Nazis seem unstoppable in their brutal march across the continent. Meanwhile, the growing threat from Japan is ignored by many in Washington. That all changes with the deadly attack on Pearl Harbor. Suddenly the country is thrust into a war that many believed would never happen and others feared was inevitable.
Now the McNally family of Tinder Street finds themselves in a world turned upside down, with their young men donning uniforms and going off to face the enemy. Among them are two young sons of Lucas Morgan, a man haunted by his own memories from the trenches of Fance in the last war. From the steaming jungles of the South Pacific to the blood-soaked beaches of Normandy, on the ground, in the air, and at sea, they rise to the call. And before it’s all over, some will fall.
Meanwhile, life continues on the home front as the people of Tinder Street and their extended family do their part for the war effort, raising victory gardens, holding scrap metal drives, building the equipment and supplies the Allies will need to win, while dealing with love and loss. And one young woman from Tinder Street will defy social norms and soar above the clouds to realize her dream and to do her part for her country.
Readers will experience what it was like for the generations who came before us and how they prevailed through hard times and unimaginable setbacks in The War Years, the sixth book in the Tinder Street saga, a story New York Times bestselling author Nick Russell has felt compelled to write and has researched for years.
