Summary During World War II, an American soldier encounters a German woman living a secret life in bomb-blighted London. In September of 1940, the Blitz had begun. Like other British civilians, Audrey Stocking is determined to survive, except she isn't from England. She is a German-a young Jewish woman with a fake passport and a nearly-perfect British accent, trying her best to blend into the city. Her days are kept busy working for the Woman's Voluntary Services to evacuate British children into the countryside, saving them from nightly bombings over London. But she also writes secret letters addressed to her father's factory back home. Audrey longs to be reunited with her father and younger brothers in Germany, but she isn't holding out much hope. If the bombs don't get her, British Military Intelligence will. And then there's the paralyzing nightmares and flashbacks-something from her past she can't quite remember. When an air raid leaves an unexploded bomb wedged in the floor of Audrey's flat, an American soldier training with Bomb Disposal Company 5 is a welcome sight. Lieutenant Wesley Bowers arrived in England the day the Blitz began. He knows the average life expectancy of soldiers disarming bombs is ten weeks, and not all of the men in his unit will survive. Wes struggles with the idea of losing men who are starting to feel like family. Although he's committed to being a soldier, he grapples with the thought of death. Meeting Audrey, an attractive, intelligent, and caring British girl has been the one bright spot during the war's unending bleakness. Wes has a girl waiting for him back home, but he's never met anyone like Audrey. There's an immediate connection between them, and they open up to each other, sharing their innermost feelings. Will he still feel the same if he discovers the truth about her identity? Even Audrey doesn't know the whole truth. Not yet. In Times of Rain and War is a gripping and heartbreakingly beautiful story about the strength and resilience of the human heart and spirit, reminding us there is always hope in hard times.
