Marie is a Mormon Allied spy in France. Rolf is a Mormon Nazi major. They cross paths, and through the guidance of the Holy Ghost, they manage to make it through the war.
I just realized how dull this book sounds. But it's really not! I was surprised by how interesting it was. (If her research was done right,) the details of how Mormons lived in Nazi Germany were fascinating. I also think her side characters bumped the plot up. How contemporaries reacted to Mormons is not often discussed in your average WWII story.
[Heads up: it's a trilogy.]

Romeo and Juliet comes to mind...
Ooooo interesting. I've wondered about that very thing too.
