  Year of the Angels by Erika Madden
With World War II raging, ten year old Lisl and her siblings find joy and magic in unexpected places. Through imagination and make-believe they escape the horrors of Hitler's reign. The quarry near their home is their secret hideout; they fantasize about prehistoric treasures and dream of better times while digging for petrified seashells. Food, heat, and clothing are scarce, but like the high stone wall around her town, the strong bond of family and their courageous mother offer protection. Through a child’s eyes, we watch the American invaders arrive to confrontations that are sometimes ugly, sometimes humorous and heartwarming. Lisl is forced to face reality when her father returns from the Russian front, a broken man plagued by survivor's guilt. As his unpredictable behavior threatens to tear the family apart, Lisl feels a different kind of war has invaded their home. The author's childhood experiences during World War II inspired this moving story as seen through the eyes of young Lisl. Born and raised in Mainbernheim, Germany, Erika Madden now lives and writes on Camano Island, Washington.
