About this ebook

RUTH AUBERTIN’s father, a highly decorated veteran of the Great War, moves his family from British Palestine to the wild of Great Britain after the Hebron masacre in 1929. He has always known the Germans would return to France, and trained his children from the time they could walk, turning them into finely tuned weapons with multiple skills ranging in weapons training to hand-to-hand combat.

When the Germans roll into France, Ruth and her brothers volunteer with the British Special Services and Ruth joins the Virtues team under the code name of GRACE. Never knowing the bond of sisterhood before, Ruth grows close to the six other women on the team and learns to rely on them and their varied skills as she goes undercover in Occupied France. Working directly for the notorious Praetorian, she and her team plan the largest prisoner escape in the war to date.

The arrest of TEMPERANCE raises the stakes. Now they have to move their time table up, increasing the overall risk of the mission. Can Ruth and her team pull off the mission, or will too many variables crash together at the wrong time?

GRACE’S GROUND WAR is part five of eight serialized novellas entitled the Virtues and Valor series.

Seven valorous women — different nationalities, ethnicities, and social backgrounds — come together as a team called the Virtues.

In 1941 Great Britain a special war department assembles an experimental and exclusively female cohort of combat operatives. Four willing spies, a wireless radio operator, an ingenious code breaker, and a fearless pilot are each hand-picked, recruited, and trained to initiate a daring mission in Occupied France. As plans are laid to engineer the largest prison break of Allied POWs in history, the Nazis capture the Virtues’ radio operator. It will take the cohesive teamwork of the rest of the women to save her life before Berlin breaks her and brings the force of the Third Reich to bear.

Some find love, some find vengeance, and some discover the kind of strength that lives in the human heart when all they can do is rely on each other and their shared belief. Courage, faith, and valor intersect but, in the end, one pays the ultimate price.

Continuing the Virtues and Valor series by Hallee Bridgeman. Eight serialized novellas, each inspired by real people and actual events, reveal the incredible story of amazing heroines facing the ultimate test of bravery.

This is the 5th book in the series. It is about a young woman trained to fight. She is more deep than the others as she is half Jewish and half French. Both Jewish and Christian in her beliefs. Once again, you see the whole picture through the eyes of one main character, this time it is Grace. She has her own issues to deal with as she is fighting the war and trying to save her Jewish people along with all the others against the German empire. You will not be disappointed in this book. It is well written and keeps your interest from beginning to end. This can be a stand alone book, but is more interesting if you read the whole series. I was given this book in exchange for my honest review.

You will enjoy this action packed novella. Grace’s Ground War is the fifth part in the serialized novel by Hallee Bridgeman. Code name Grace, Ruth Aubertin, was raised to be a soldier at a time when women did not play that role. Her skills were too advanced to train with other women so she was forced to train with men who did not want her there. Will she make it through the training and be able to fight against the Germans? She would always have to keep her heritage a secret because being of Jewish descent during WWII was a dangerous thing. Be sure to read about the real people that inspired the characters in the Virtue and Valor books at the end of each book in the series.

Vengeance and hatred make powerful motivators. Ruth's mother, a Jew, has been killed in a Jihadist raid. Certain that the Germans are behind this, and they will again rise to power following the Great War, Ruth's father takes his family back to their native France where he trains son and daughter alike about the intricacies of combat. Just as the father predicts, Germany does indeed rise and begin pogroms against the Jews and non-Aryans. Ruth and her brother, Matthew, are well-trained to join the Elite forces of the Resistance. Because she believes in the risen Messiah, Ruth is placed on the special 7-lady Resistance team bound together by faith. Grace, as Ruth will be known, will be responsible for the safety of the English courier as well as setting up and coordinating bomb attacks. I give Hallee a lot of credit in this novella. Many of the conversations we have seen before, and she has gone back and made sure to repeat them as necessary, verbatim. As always, one of my favorite parts comes in the appendix where Hallee shares meticulously gleaned historical fact. There are discussion questions. I am grappling with my own answers. Received book from author to review.
