Two extraordinary characters. One unforgettable love story.

In the spring of 1941, young Jon Meyer’s family dies in a tragic accident, and he is sent to live in a small Indiana town. He arrives to find himself unwanted and shunned.

Mary Dahlgren is the mayor’s daughter. A pretty girl, she could have the pick of the boys in town, including Vernon King, the star of the vaunted high school basketball team. To the chagrin of her friends, though, Mary has always been more interested in books than boys. That is, until she meets Jon.

But Jon and Mary are kept apart through the efforts of Mary’s father, who perceives their relationship a threat to his political aspirations, and Vernon, to whom Jon is a rival for Mary’s affections. For months Jon is subjected to a painful ostracism. Then, just when the young man’s earnestness and perseverance begin to win over many of the townsfolk and it appears that love may conquer all, tragedy strikes.

As the country is caught up in war, so too are the young lovers swept up in events beyond their control, leaving both fighting for their very lives. If, against the odds, they are to be together, each will need to find the strength, the courage and the resourcefulness that beat only in a defiant heart.

5,0 su 5 stelle If six stars were an option, this book would get them!
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 20 febbraio 2015
Acquisto verificato
Too bad there isn't an option for more than five stars, this book is that good. Probably one of the best 100 books I've ever read and that's saying a lot. I first read Sea of Crisis by this author because it was free for a day or two on Amazon and that book was exceptional in its own right - this one might even be better.

There are very few authors who can jump from one genre to the next and maintain the quality of writing but Steere has proven he has that ability in spades. I generally dislike love stories and historical novels and yet this book is both but so much more. It's a coming of age novel, a war story, a love story and a thriller, all rolled neatly and nicely into one book.

Do yourself a huge favor and buy this book. Then do yourself another favor and write a review so that perhaps we can encourage this incredible author to continue plying his trade. He writes so much better than many of the so called "best selling" authors out there, it would be shame if he never achieved the level of recognition he deserves.

5,0 su 5 stelle MARTY STEERE HAS CRAFTED AN INCREDIBLE STORY
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 7 agosto 2013

After reading "Sea of Crises" I was hooked on Marty Steere's writing style. The "Defiant Heart" is a completely different story, but just as captivating. The setting is in the early days before WWII, where the characters are brought to life with Jon Meyer, a teen orphaned Jewish boy who has been sent to live with his elderly grandmother. His story is full of loneliness, excitement and love. The people he comes in contact with throughout the story are so real, one almost believes this actually happened. I really enjoyed Jon's introduction to the anti-jew culture of the day, but also the people who recognized his warmth and intelligence by loving and supporting him regardless of his heritage. Want to know about flying a plane, boxing, the strength of the human spirit? Read it all in this book, I guarantee you will want read more from Marty Steere!

4,0 su 5 stelle A heartwarming coming of age story
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 21 marzo 2015
Acquisto verificato
This book evokes a time and a place that many of us wish we could relive. It's a very sweet story of a young man beset by tragedy and loss, and his perseverance through his trials to eventual success and happiness. The protagonist is almost too good to be true, but in the time right before the Second World War, he and the other characters are plausible. It was a time of relative innocence, good intentions, trust, and the belief that we were safe from harm. Recommended for those who enjoy a good story set during this time as I do. I reserve five star ratings for the rare books I would read again.

I had read Sea of Crisis and found it to be one of those books that you can't put down,then think about long after the book is finished. I, therefore, had high hopes for Defiant Heart. I was not disappointed for one second!! This book kept me on the edge of my seat and wanting to know more during the entire read. The characters were so real and the story gripping. One of the other reviews suggested you clear your schedule because once you start this book, you won't put it down. That's totally true! Thank you, Marty!!

5,0 su 5 stelle Touching and well-written story
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 26 giugno 2014
Acquisto verificato
Unlike other reviewers, I was NOT given a free copy of this work. But I agree with the assessments: this is a well-written and inspiring story. I have also read the author's previous novel, "Sea of Crises", which I enjoyed: it was a non-stop action thriller, very different genre. But in both, the author manages to portray characters who are admirable and decent without being saccharine. Just enough detail about the period and circumstances: sets the stage without seeming like a dull slog through a history lesson. Look forward to reading new work by this author.
