The Foxhole Victory Tour by Amy Lynn Green -- Blog Tour Review

About the Book

Based on true World War II stories of life in the USO variety shows, worlds collide when performers from around the United States come together to tour North Africa.

Vibrant and scrappy Maggie McCleod tried not to get fired from her wartime orchestra, but her sharp tongue landed her in trouble, so an overseas adventure with the USO's camp show promises a chance at a fresh start. Wealthy and elegant Catherine Duquette signs with the USO to leave behind her restrictive life of privilege and to uncover the truth behind the disappearance of the handsome pilot whose letters mysteriously stopped arriving.

The two women are joined by an eclectic group of performers--a scheming blues singer, a veteran tap dancer, and a brooding magician--but the harmony among their troupe is short-lived when their tour manager announces he will soon recommend one of them for a coveted job in the Hollywood spotlight. Each of the five members has a reason to want the contract, and they'll do whatever is necessary to claim it. As their troupe travels closer to the dangerous battlefront in Tunisia, personal crises and wartime dangers only intensify, putting not only their careers but also their lives on the line.

Review

Author Amy Lynn Green has written another excellent story that brings to life the world of WWII and the glorious people who gave of their time and talent to perform in the USO tours. Many of these were brave and strong women who wanted to do something for their country and to help the soldiers. Weaving together the story of various characters, including a WWI veteran and vaudeville entertainer, a magician, and a singer, Green crafts an enchanting and delightful story that will capture the attention and heart of readers. Another fantastic story that readers of WWII historical romance will not want to miss out on.
