The Letter Carrier will rip your heart out. It is a fantastic historical fiction book that really tries to put in the reader in the lives of villagers in occupied Braquis, France during WWII, based on the life of Michelle Naget.
Michelle Naget is the only daughter in the family led be Joseph and Yvonne Naget. During the German occupation she must do anything to survive even when the future is bleak and hopelessness sets in. Mimie tells of the oppression and fear the Nazis and SS. It’s eye-opening on many levels. After the Braquis liberation we see some hope return to the family, yet remorse for those risking their lives for the French. The years of sorrow and pain never leave, yet there is hope.

I have deep respect for books which are centered around World War II. They bring out the pain and trauma faced by the people during one of the most horrific times on this planet. This book is a coming of age story of a young girl Michelle, except this does not involve any dates, fashion dresses or admiring eyes. This is a story of a young girl whose family had to endure Nazi soldiers in their home for 4 years. The Letter Carrier is based on the true life of Michelle Naget whose family lived in France, when the Nazis invaded their country and took over their homeland for 4 years. They prayed everyday that the Allies will come rescue them, there is still hope and light at the end of the tunnel. Their unwavering faith in God and the family motto “We do what must be done” helped Michelle sail through those difficult times. The author has done extensive research about Michelle’s life , she spent three years with the lady herself to understand the facts and her life better and pen it down on paper. Huge respects to the author, Michelle and everyone who survived those terrible times during WW II.

I LOVE historical fiction and actively seek to read all the stories I can about WWII. Most deal directly with Germany and viewpoints from those imprisoned in concentration camps. Every once in a while, you find one about another occupied country, written about someone who lived through it. These books are transfixing, heartbreaking, and full of hope all at the same time. The thing is, many countries (Italy and France particularly) were victims of destroyed documents. Those stories that can be corroborated after much deep digging – often are hard to tell and we are very quickly losing the remaining people who can tell the tale. So, when something like this comes along it is brilliant and brave and wrecking, and touching.
The Letter Carrier is nothing short of all of this. It takes place in occupied France during the war and is a true testament to the depravity wrought by the Third Reich and living conditions of those involved. The author does a tremendous job of transporting you to Braquis – bringing sharp focus to the unthinkable things no one should have to live through, and capturing part of your heart in return. I wept for Michelle and her family more than once, but through faith and hope, they lived to tell the tale. Hopefully this serves as a reminder how fragile life is, and brings light to dark times lest we fail to learn from and tragically repeat these lessons.
L.C. Lewis is a poignant writer with a knack for carrying the emotions through the page. I felt what the characters were feeling. I got a sense of an oft skipped over perspective of the war and how truly young kids had to grow up faster than they should have. I am forever grateful to L.C. for capturing the spirit of Michelle, and being able to tell her tale. Brava!

Historical fiction is one of my favorite genres, especially books focused on the WWII era. Although I mostly read books that are focused on the Jewish side of WWII, I have recently enjoyed reading books that focus on other groups that were forced to live through this war without being Nazis. This was the first book that I have read from this particular author, although the topic is one of my favorites, but I found the writing to be vivid, interesting, and well researched. The characters touched me and I felt like I was in the story. This was a quick read for me, but definitely a worthwhile one. I recommend books like this to everyone, regardless of where they live. I would read another book from this author in the future.

The Letter Carrier is a historical fiction novel about a young lady named Michelle Naget that lives in France during World War II while their country and home are invaded by Nazi’s. This is a touching and informative coming-of-age story. Reading about Michelle’s unwavering hope for better times and strong faith in God is inspirational. The faith of the Naget family was definitely rewarded. Reading about the hardships of living in an occupied country during World War II was heartbreaking. There was a lot to be learned regarding the experiences of these people.

“The Nazi’s took her country, her village, and her home, but Michelle Naget discovers that freedom begins in one’s heart.”
The Letter Carrier by Laurie L.C. Lewis is a superb coming of age story set in France during WWII. What sets this story apart from others is not only Ms. Lewis’s wonderful writing and storytelling talent, but also the fact that this is a true story. This historical story tells of a young girls experience to survive and also trying to keep her family safe- with all the dramatic details we read of family, war, faith, courage, heartache, friendship, culture, challenges, and struggles- all while giving us a window into life in those times. Happy Reading!

This story is based on a true story so it really hits harder than normal . I just want to say thank you to the family for sharing their lives and story with us , what a privilege it has been . Thank you to Laurie for honouring this family in such a beautiful way ❣️
Any book set in the time Hitler and his bad men tried to take over the world usually makes me feel quite sick but at the same time I’m left in awe and wonder at the resilience of people and their determination to survive and come out on the other side …..
Michelle and her family lived in France till the Nazis invaded and life as they knew it took a really bad turn but never do they give up , never do they loose hope and never does their faith falter . I walked away with so many humbling life lessons ❣️

World War II Historical Fiction is my favorite genre. This book did not disappoint. It is based on the real life experiences of Michelle Naget, 11 yrs old, and her family. The story starts with Michelle and her family are fleeing to safety from the Germans who have invaded France. Unfortunately, they are captured by the Nazis. They return to their house to discover their home has been commandeered. The Germans require that they serve for them. They live for four years with the Nazis under their roof which causes neighbors to question their loyalty to France. Under the Nazi’s rule, the family is put through much torment and Michelle find that she is determined to do whatever she can to protect her family. The theme that I found in this reading was the theme of hope. Michelle and her family have faith that they will come out of this alive and together.

This is one of my favorite genres of books to read. I thought that this book was engaging. It gave a well written take on what life was like during this time for the family. I appreciated that the family was from France as this is not always the perspective given in the genre. I would read more from this author.

This was a gripping historical novel based on the real life experiences of Michelle Naget and her family. I found this story to be a real page turner, which at times was heartwarming and at others heartbreaking. An inspirational story about an amazingly brave young women, I found this book hard to put down. A young Michelle and her family are fleeing to safety from the Germans who have marched across Europe and have now reached France, when they are captured by the Nazis. The Naget family are sent back to their house in the village of Braquis, to discover their home has been commandeered, and that they must serve the enemy. For four years the family live with the Nazis under their roof and have to endure not only this, but also their neighbours questioning their loyalty. Michelle and her family are very religious but the daily hardships test their faith, however, the family’s motto is , “We do what must be done,” and they do, by believing in God, each other and hope. A young rebel French girl passes letters to Michelle and Légère promises that she will be free again when the Allies arrive. As time goes on the Nazis torment increases and the Naget family’s life and death is completely in their enemies control. Michelle is determined to do whatever she can to protect her family, even dressing as a boy and being a letter carrier. Told from Michelle’s point of view this is an engaging read and I felt completely immersed in the story. The setting came vividly and claustrophobically to life from the authors descriptive narrative. The characters are all realistic and well defined, Michelle is a very likeable and relatable young women. The author has obviously done her research, and the added historical details made me feel as though I had been transported back, during WWII. I literally could not put this book down, and the story and the characters stayed with me long after I had finished the book. A must read, which I definitely recommend.

This novel was thrilling to say the least. The realism it did, was by far one of the best I would say. I felt I was transported to the time of the war and was undergoing what the characters endured. It takes a special author to really make the reader feel something that deep. Truly an amazing read.
Personally, I loved this book was told through the eyes of Michelle. As a child enduing all the stuff happening with the Nazis etc. you really feel what the child was feeling. As an adult it was terrifying enough, but what was it to the child? The story was a epic read. I could not stop reading, as I constantly needed to know what would happen next. The book had a lot of emotions, and you really felt what the family that the story emphasized on was going through beautiful writing and read. I have not read anything wit such a impact in such a while. This is a book that will stay with me. Loved it!
If you had not had the pleasure of reading this book, I suggest very much that you do so! This is not one to be passed up for any means A super high recommendation from me, and a must-read author as well.

I loved reading this historical story. This is an author that I have loved reading from the first book I picked up. I never hesitate to pick up her books for sure. This is a well written story where the author’s writing skills make the story come to life. Her attention to details made her stories realistic. This book is no different. This is a story that takes place during a time when the Germans reach France. This is a story that is written with a lot of heart and the characters emotional. A story of courage and the determination to protect a family. I enjoyed the characters and what they brought to the story. They are connectable and made the story easy and hard to put down. There is great growth of the characters and the plot throughout the story that made it entertaining. A must read story. I highly recommend this book and this author.

My favorite era of historical fiction to read is World War Two. This book is set in a rural village of France, during the Nazi occupation. Readers follow the faith of one family, and one family member in particular. This family member eventually becomes the letter carrier for her village, and it is from this that the book’s title is derived. Heartache, love, reunions, brutality- through it all, faith is what sustains the main character.

The Letter Carrier by L.C. Lewis. I really enjoyed this book. I’m on a WWII kick so I was excited to read this one and it did not disappoint. The story is told thru the eyes of 11 year old Michelle Naget who is French and lives in the village of Braquis. The Nazi’s took everything from her family including her home. Her family had to serve the Nazi’s in their own home. I have learned so much reading these books about WWII and how horrible the Nazi’s treated everyone. Michelle never knew if they were going to have food to eat, water to drink or even if certain family was still alive. The abuse, emotional, physical and mentally is almost too much to bear but she survives. Holding onto her faith Michelle endures it all and comes out a very strong woman. The author writes in a way that I truly felt like I was in war torn France. I flew thru this book as quick as I could read!

This is a nonfiction biography that will truly give you a look into the WWII from when the Germans invaded France. Michelle tells us about the struggles she and her family faced in trying to just stay safe and alive. There were many struggles: not knowing if family members were alive; not knowing if they were going to have enough of anything to survive; etc. This is an emotional book because it is true. You will feel the feelings. They are trying to escape and the Germans are shooting at the road they are on while her mom is trying to deliver a friend’s baby. The one constant in this story si that Michelle never loses her faith in God. She knows that He will take care of them and provide. She was a strong child, who turned into a strong young woman and woman. She persevered a lot. She fought with the resistance. She was an amazing woman. I especially loved the letter from her daughter telling how her life turned out. I can’t describe how much this book touched me. I had great-grandparents that escaped the concentration camps so I have always read personal stories from that time in history. I want to thank the author and Michelle for sharing that story. I truly with I could give more than 5 stars. This is the best nonfiction book of 2022 that I have read this year.

Laurie L.C. Lewis is one writer that brings out all the feels in her work. The Letter Carrier is an historical fiction tale based on true events. It is raw, horrifying, compelling and sad story. It is set back in time when the Nazi invaded France and World War II. A time when you never knew if you would live or die by the hands of someone else. It reached into my heart and left me battered and bruised.
Michelle Naget a young French girl lived through Nazi Germany invading France and her village Braquis. The atrocities she and her family saw as they were made to serve the Nazi’s. This is her story as she endured many things no one should have to for four years.

When the German march across Europe reaches France, young Michelle Naget and her family join the throngs fleeing for safety. But their flight ends in capture by the Nazis, with one member of the family taken, while the rest of the family is sent back to their village of Braquis, France, to serve the enemy who has commandeered their home.
For the next four years, the Nagets live in the crosshairs of the enemy living under their roof and of the neighbors who question the family’s loyalties. Every day becomes a test of faith for Michelle-in God, in family, in the hope that the Allies will come, and in the letters from a young French rebel named Légère who promises Michelle that she will be free again.
But when the Nazis’ torment increases, and the razor-thin line between life and death narrows for the Nagets, the family’s motto, “We do what must be done,” and Michelle’s faith in God, give her the courage to face her enemy and do whatever she must to protect the family she loves.

Premeditated: Betrayal of Trust By Susanna Haymond 5*
This is a page turning suspense that I really had a hard time putting down. In this story, anti-drug activists are being found overdosed or nearly overdosed on kronilian. The perpetrators are working to take down people who are not only drug activists but people who work closely with the DEA. This makes this case even more urgent. As the agents, Grant and Josh are working hard to determine who might want to take down these anti-drug activists. They find themselves enlisting the help of a former DEA agent who now works for the FBI. When a very close friend of Grant and Josh finds themselves dosed with the kronilian and needing to be in protective custody, they find they have to ask their new partner for help. But what happens when it seems that there is a leak within the agents. Who can they trust? Will they be able to stop these perpetrators? This book was very well written and definitely kept me guessing until the end. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys suspense novels.

The death of a drug rehab director, the addiction of Anne, and many others that was not caused by their own choosing. How does one become so addicted to a controlled substance without one’s knowledge? That is a great question and one that eventually gets answered in the book PREMEDITATED. There are so many well written characters in the book and each one is so real that the book feels very authentic. This book was a page turner from the very beginning until the last word! It was fun to follow along and try to decipher who the person is that is behind the addictions, murders, and attempted murders. You will not be disappointed! There are a lot of great twists and turns and at the end I was surprised at the person behind the plot! Great read, exceptional characters, and a great Christian read that I thoroughly enjoyed!

Who do you turn to when everything you believe in is being attacked?
Someone is after the people trying to get the drugs off the street and anyone who might stand in their way. When one incident turns into a string of possibly drug-related crimes, it’s up to the DEA to find out who is giving out this much Kronilan. As they work to clear the streets, they find their friends under attack and now it’s gotten personal.
It’s a race against time and distribution to see if the DEA can stop the Kronilan before everything falls apart.
I don’t typically go for the religious romance genre, but decided to give this book a shot because I love a good romantic suspense. While it wasn’t 100% something I’d choose, it was enjoyable as a whole. Despite some errors with character names and time discrepancies, the plot and building of the storyline were well thought out and enjoyable. This was my first book by this author, so I’m curious if book 1 would have answered some of my questions while reading.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book and I felt that the twists in the ending were well done, and I definitely didn’t see it coming. I’d definitely be willing to check out more from this series.

Politics, Drugs, Friendships, Death and the DEA involvement!!! This book kept me wanting to not put it down. I want to read more of Susanna’s books, especially if they are so intense like this one was. I will tell you that this book literally had me looking for the killer. I won’t reveal who it is but its definitely someone I didn’t suspect. I would definitely recommend this book to my friends!!!

I enjoyed the cleanness of this book. It wasn’t filled with curse words or with sex which was refreshing. For the most part, the story followed Anne Sherril. Anne is an activist fighting against drugs. Then she herself is injected with drugs against her will, and she becomes addicted. The story follows her battle against the addiction, as well as law enforcement racing to find who is changing medicine out for drugs. Overall, it was a good suspenseful mystery. I loved the reminders about not being given up on and not giving up on yourself. I never saw the twist at the end! Great book!

Anne is a strong voice to end drugs on the street and educate kids on a better way and give them better options in life. Someone is trying to destroy all her work. However when she ends up at the doctor feeling unwell and reccomended for b12 shots her world is turned upside down with sabotage and secrets. Josh and Grant, DEA agents have been working a case for months in this same community. Grant has personal ties with Anne and they are close friends so when she’s dragged into the case they are working it’s personal. This book had a stunning end you just don’t see coming. I generally predict endings long before they happen and this one left my jaw hanging open. Highly reccomended!

When I read the description it was not my typical read but wanted to give it a try and I am happy I did. This is the first book that I have read by this author and I really enjoyed the storyline. If you like thrillers and unpredictable plot twists this book is for you. You will not be able to put this down while trying to figure out who is behind the drug overdoses. Grant and Josh are DEA agents tasked with piecing together a string of overdoses involving the very people fighting to stop overdoses. Anne, who is attempting to rid the streets of drugs gets entangled with the very drug she is trying to get off the streets. When it becomes personal for Grant he will do everything to put the mastermind behind bars. If thrillers, crime, and on-the-edge-of-your-seat books are your thing this book is for you! I can’t wait to pick up the next book by this author.

The street drug “Kronilan” is over running the streets, so much so that the FBI and DEA have agents in place. DEA agents Grant Rourke and Josh McKenzie are working to try to solve the mystery of where its coming from and who is at the root of distribution. This drug has also led to members of the community trying to help users realize they have other options. Soon these advocates start displaying signs of being users themselves, some with deadly consequences. Anne is one such advocate, the fiancee of an ex- DEA agent, an agent who use to partner one of the agents in charge, Rourke, making the case even more personal. Will Anne get the help she needs? Will Grant and Josh solve the case before more people or injured or worse?
This is the first book by Hammond that I picked up and I have to say it is worth the read. The characters were well developed. The story line was easy to follow, flowed well, and pulled you into the story. The story was also very realistic and believable. I truly enjoyed the book and can’t wait to see what comes next from Haymond.

This was a wonderful read! This story about two DEA agents trying to bring down a drug lord is fast-paced and action-packed. You don’t have to wait for the action to begin; the book starts off with a bang. The book is a page-turner. The dynamics between the characters are well-written. The book has great Christian themes and is very inspirational. I think people from all walks would enjoy this book. Clean and exciting!

When I first read the synopsis for this book I was really intrigued, it sounded like a book that would have me guessing all the way through and I wasn’t mistaken! This was such a good read, with some great twist and turns and a really interested story line I was really invested in what I was reading and my attention was captured from beginning to end. This is the first book that I have read by this author and I can definitely say it won’t be the last, I’m looking forward to exploring more of her work. With a fast paced and exciting storyline, along with great characters, Premeditated is definitely a book that I would recommend to other readers.
