So Shall We Stand (WOMEN OF VALOR) (Book 2)

Caught In a Web of Espionage, Two Determined Friends Search for Truth...and a Way Out.

Widowed when her husband's plane was shot down during the London blitz, Nella Killian returns home to Wales determined to build a normal life for her young daughter. But when she inadvertantly uncovers evidence that raises questions about the death of a young American soldier, Nella becomes the enemy's next target. Fearing for the safety of her family, Nella must make a courageous choice.

Peggy Jones is like a sister to Nella, having come as a young girl to live with Nella's family. When she comes to Nella's aid, Peggy finds herself entangled in the same dark web of danger. To whom can they turn for help when it seems that everyone is harboring deadly secrets?

A full-time writer with a passion for historical research, Elyse Larson developed a particular interest in World War II and the faith that sustained believers during one of the most devastating wars on earth. It was this special fascination, and a friendship with a woman who served as a Red Cross worker in Wales, that led her to develop her Women of Valor series.

Since then, she has been successful in nearly every form she has attempted. The author of children’s picture books, numerous historical novels, and even a devotional for caregivers, Elyse has also been published in many periodicals including Guideposts, Reader’s Digest, and The Christian Reader. The time she isn’t writing is now spent traveling for writer’s conferences as a private writing instructor.

Elyse and her husband, Richard, continue to reside in Oregon. They have three grown children and eleven grandchildren.
