Summary: Timeless Tale of Love, Lust & Intrigue
Review: ONLY ONE TEAR MAY FALL provides a fascinating look into the lives of good men and women in the 1940s who found themselves in the unenviable situation of being citizens of a country led by a mad-man (Adolph Hitler). This riveting account of daily life in Nazi Germany is as surprising as it is engaging, and held me firmly in its spell until I reached the very last page.

I watched the main characters of ONLY ONE TEAR MAY FALL in awe, shock, and admiration as they found various ways to cope with the horrific situation all around them. When growing up in Hitler's Nazi Germany, men destined to become military generals and SS officers were raised to know that in their lifetime, only one tear may fall. This harsh expectation had a way of hardening some men, while others managed to find ways to be compassionate in spite of seemingly overwhelming circumstances.

While wartime atrocities are only hinted at in ONLY ONE TEAR MAY FALL, its main focus is how it was possible for men and women to maintain a sense of home and family at a time when most German families were being torn apart. At a time when life could end any minute, living in the moment became a way of life. While some men and women chose to live those precious minutes with wild abandon, others found deeper meaning... and even true love.

ONLY ONE TEAR MAY FALL is a story that stays with you long after you read it, because of its haunting imagery, suspenseful plot, captivating characters, and timeless relevance. Like a favorite meal that I haven't enjoyed for a long time, I found myself wanting to savor it all over again as soon as I finished it!
