The Land Beneath Us is the latest from Sarah Sundin. This tale takes place in the days of WWII. Leah Jones, only eighteen years old, takes a job as a librarian at Camp Forrest, a military base in Tennessee. Clay Paxton is also on the base training to be a Army Ranger. Clay and Leah briefly meet through their duties on the base; however, one evening their acquaintance turns into something much greater, when Clay saves Leah's life after she is brutally attacked!
While Leah is dealing with the after-affects of this violation, she learns that she is pregnant. Leah has no idea how she can afford to keep her child; however, Clay steps in and offers to marry her. Clay has been dreaming for months that he will die in the war, so he wants to offer Leah a way to keep her baby!
Leah and Clay are both dealing with feelings of emptiness. Leah having been separated from her younger twin sisters and having no idea where they are; and Clay having been separated from his two older brothers, after they stole his girlfriend and his savings for college. Leah longs for a feeling of home and Clay longs for his brothers to right the wrongs they brought into his life!
Watch as Clay travels to Europe for D-day and Leah seeks the location of her sisters after her baby is born. Will they both trust in their God to bring them the peace that they seek?
