\"Prayer\"<\/p>\n

There are countless reasons to pray: out of joy, thankfulness, sorrow, when searching for answers\u2014and in times when nothing else will do. Did you know that over 100 years ago, an unprecedented call to action by then-monarch King George VI occurred during the brutal evacuation of Dunkirk? The Germans had the Allied forces cornered, and Churchill called for all boats, large and small, to come to the aid of these brave soldiers while the king beseeched the nation to unite in a day of prayer.<\/p>\n

And a miracle took place. Though it seemed impossible at first, over 300,000 men were ferried to safety that week by around 800 civilian boats.<\/p>\n

In her latest historical novel, Maggie Bright<\/em><\/a>, Tracy Groot explores this incredible event and takes us to the front lines with one such boat that traverses the dangerous waters to save the troops as the people of Britain bend their heads in prayer.<\/p>\n
