I have always loved books written by Gerald Lund. He is truly an amazing story teller, whether it is a true story or historical fiction his books captivate me and make me want to keep reading! I’ve read his new book, Lt. Terry’s Christmas Fudge, book with my kids and we really enjoyed it! It’s an amazing story that I am grateful the family was willing to share with Gerald Lund!
Lt. Terry’s Christmas Fudge Synopsis-
On a mission to bomb a French bridge and slow down Hitler’s army, U.S. bomber pilot Lt. Wendell B. Terry miraculously survived a harrowing parachute jump after his plane took a direct hit from enemy ground fire. Captured, Terry found himself in a German POW camp for Christmas. He shared an 18-by-24 foot cement room with 23 prisoners of war. He lived with a dirt floor, no heat to ward off the bitter cold, one small window, and not much to do except use his artistic ability to document his life in the camp in a journal he received from the Red Cross. Those illustrations, created by Lt. Terry during his incarceration, are reproduced in this heartwarming true story of the joy of sharing what little you have even in the most dire of circumstances, beautifully retold by master storyteller Gerald N. Lund.
This book is a little intense, but I felt like it was fine for my kids to hear. It’s not to intense, but my kids really are intrigued by war stories.
