A sweet, tender story about German POWs during wwII working in Michigan farms. Told in verse!! While a simple story, it really takes the big story of war and gives in flesh—as humans deal with the nuances and complexities of right and wrong. A great read, especially for those local to west Michigan.

Despite how long it took me to finish this book (back to school and toddler mom probs), I couldn't let it go unfinished. Such a niche facet of US history told in a wonderful format/genre. Highly recommend.

2025-#48 German POWs were brought to the US to replace our labor shortage during WWII.
