Another incredibly emotional story from Robert Dugoni that the reader will not be able to put down. Not the usual WWII novel!

I was given this book by NetGalley for an honest review
Dugoni writes another winner! What a great book!
Sams family lost their farm and had very little money, Sam ran the projector at the movie house and often his girlfriend Sarah joined him,—-until Pearl Harbor — Sam is off to war and captured as a POW. Sarah decides she wants to do more in the fight against the war than teaching so she heads to Washington and begins code breaking. Follow along in the lives of these two struggling with life during the war when everything is so different. Will they find the life they dreamed of after the war?

Dugoni is one of the brightest and best crime fiction writers of our time! He delivers a pulse-pounding mystery thriller with this endeavor.

It’s packed with detail and attitude, this is a not to be missed reading. Beyond Reasonable Doubt is filled with rich characterization and exceptional drama.

Courtroom dialogue at its best, with a neat closing argument! Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for the amazing early copy.

Hold Strong by R. Dugoni, J. Langholz and C. Crabtree, published by Lake Union Publishing is a Historical Fiction Novel based on real events.
Let me just say this book put me through the wringer, is raw and gritty, heartwrenchingly beautiful, leaves the reader with a major book hangover.
I don't want to spoiler here, only so much, it was like I could taste the air on board of Arisan Maru.
I met the author's writing in his Tracy Crosswhite Series and fell i insta love with writing, story and characters. I anticipated this so other story. And it's just as great as Tracy's stories. An other genre, but no less brilliant.
I recommend the book, 5 stars.

The story of high school sweethearts and the impact of WWII on their lives and how it changes them. This is a tribute to both POWs held in Japanese camps and the new roles women took on during the war. It also presents, based on facts, heartbreaking decisions made by the government to win the war. But ultimately it is a story of redemption and love.

Hold Strong is the remarkable story of Sarah and Sam, set in the United States during WWII in the Pacific theater. This book portrays the effect the war had on the entire country and the world, as portrayed in the lives of a young couple in love. Suspense, the rigors of war, heroism, and commitment to the country are all important elements in this exceptional novel.

I received an ARC for free and gave my honest opinion voluntarily.

The authors have done a great job of creating a tale that is sure to inspire. The characters, the scenes, and the plot development are all done with such a professional touch.

The title couldn't be more accurate. You cling to hope in difficult times. The novel is based on little-known events from World War 2 that are terrifying to experience. It was pretty heavy for me, and there were parts I could barely read, but the writing and details were well done. The endnotes provide even more in-depth insight for anyone interested in learning about this troubling historical time.
