Cover Reveal – The Sea Before Us!

The Sea Before Us by Sarah Sundin, February 6, 2018 from RevellOn the 73rd anniversary of the D-Day landings, I’m pleased to reveal the cover for my upcoming D-Day novel The Sea Before Us, Book 1 in the Sunrise at Normandy series.

The Sea Before Us is now available for pre-order at Amazon and Books-A-Million, and will be available on other sites soon. Pre-orders for the e-book will be available at a later date.

Sunrise at Normandy Series

One tragic night drove three brothers apart.

One fateful day thrusts them together…D-Day.

The Sea Before Us

(Book 1, coming February 6, 2018)

Betrayal as deep . . .

Love as mysterious . . .

As the sea before them.

In 1944, American naval officer Lt. Wyatt Paxton arrives in London to prepare for the Allied invasion of France, determined to redeem himself with the brothers he has betrayed. He works closely with Dorothy Fairfax, a “Wren” in the Women’s Royal Naval Service. Dorothy pieces together reconnaissance photographs with thousands of holiday snapshots of France—including those of her family’s summer home—in order to create accurate maps of Normandy. Maps that Wyatt will turn into naval bombardment plans.

As the two spend concentrated time together in the pressure cooker of war, their deepening friendship threatens to turn to love. Dorothy must resist its pull. Her bereaved father depends on her, and her heart already belongs to another man. Wyatt too has much to lose. The closer he gets to Dorothy, the more he fears his efforts to win the war will destroy everything she has ever loved.

The tense days leading up to the monumental D-Day landing blaze to life in this powerful new series.

    I receive your daily newsletter and so appreciated reading the D-Day tribute this morning. Also, I just finished the cover reveal on Facebook, and, as I commented, even my husband was looking over my shoulder at the interesting historical artifacts you presented. Your books are always excellent and are re-reads! Thanks!

  7. Janice Laird says:

    Loved your reveal! A cousin of mine, who works in the modeling industry, says blue-eyed redheads are rare! So Dorothy must be a gem.. 🙂 Did you toss a lot of British slang into this one? Enjoy your big day!

  8. Angela Aldridge says:

I am so drawn to your books because of the amount of research that you’ve done to make them absolutely true to the period. Definitely an auto-buy for me!

  16. I love your books Sarah and I’m so excited to start a new series. I’m glad you’re moving to a different branch of the military. My dad served in the U.S. Army in the 787th Tank Battalion near the end of the war, but at the point of this novel he was still in the States training troops as a drill instructor.
    I have all your other books, so on the chance I would win one of the giveaways I would choose this new one.

  57. Sophie Thomas says:

    Hope to get one of these! What an exciting series!

  58. Carolyn says:

    Beautiful cover. Can’t wait for a new Sarah Sundin novel.

  60. Jenny says:

    I always look forward to your new releases. You never disappoint! You have the most well-rounded characters of any author I have ever read.

  61. Lois Briggs says:

    This new storyline sounds amazing! Can’t wait to delve into it!! Also love the new cover! This British gal is excited in a special way!!

  62. Lisa Hudson says:

    This book is going to be FANTASTIC! I can’t wait to read it for two reasons: 1) My Great Uncle was a Navigator on a Higgins Boat that ferried the soldiers from boat to shore on D-Day! I only discovered that fact as I typed his Obit. My Great Aunt said he didn’t want anyone to know. He didn’t consider himself a hero because he survived! 2) My bro-in-law’s Daddy was a WWII pilot & flew reconnaissance flights all over the area. He’s just returned from his Dream Trip to Normanday with his 1st Cousin. My niece sent him for his 70th Birthday.

    • Sarah Sundin says:

      Oh my goodness. I’m always astonished at the men who didn’t consider themselves heroes. It just goes to show their humility and the spirit of teamwork. The Higgins Boat crews had to have extraordinary courage – to keep driving your little plywood boat TOWARD the machine-gun fire. Oh my. They are true heroes, and even more so for their modesty.

      That is wonderful that the recon pilot got to return to Normandy. What a lovely gift.

      • Rhiannon Myers says:

        My Grandpa was like that , he never wanted to be known as a hero. He said that he was just doing the job he went there to do . He was actually there 3 days before the invasion blowing up the barriers that would have prevented the boats to reach the beach front . He said that he didn’t deserve the recognition OR his medals for his efforts before or during the invasion . He didn’t even want a Military funeral when he passed away .

  63. Michelle B says:

    Can’t wait for the new book. L.O.V.E. the cover choice!

  64. Danielle says:

    Love your series!! Keep them coming. 🙂 It is going to be hard waiting until 2018! Lol Do you have any suggestions on books to read (WWII era) until then? You have me hooked!

    • Sarah Sundin says:

      I do! If you receive my author newsletter, I just sent one out today with 3 recommended WWII reads – plus a 1920s one that’s wonderful.

      Melanie Dobson’s Chasing the Wind (WWII Britain and contemporary Britain)
      Jeanne Dickson’s Grounded Hearts (releases next week – a downed RAF pilot in neutral Ireland)
      Tricia Goyer’s A Secret Courage (WWII Britain)
      Karen Barnett’s The Road to Paradise (Mount Rainier in 1927, written by a former park ranger!)

  65. Amanda T. says:

    It looks awesome! Can’t wait to read it. 🙂

  66. Jeanette Fallon says:

    I would love your next book. I devour every book you write. Love, love, love.

  67. Donna says:

    Love your books. Would be so blessed to win one.

  68. Jeanie Dannheim says:

    Thank you for the beautiful stories you capture and share from one of the critical US historical era! And for the chance to win. Looking forward to both of these!

  69. You’re a new discovery for me, Sarah. I just read A Memory Between Us and thought it was wonderful – very well-written and researched.
    My Dad was in Italy during WWII. I wrote a non-fiction book about his service called The Minesweeper: A Cincinnati Teenager Serves in Italy During WWII. It’s available as an e-book on Amazon. Check it out. I think you’d like it. (No romance but a true, heartwarming story.)

    • Sarah Sundin says:

      Thank you, Kathy! I’m glad you enjoyed A Memory Between Us! I’m so glad you wrote your father’s story – so many stories are disappearing, and they need to be preserved. And the war in Italy is too often overlooked.

  70. Pat Moore says:

    Love your books. Would love to win “The Sea Before Us”. I’ve read all of your other books & all are 5 stars. Left 5 star reviews on each of them. Love the new book cover. The best one yet. God be with you.

  71. Rachael K says:

    Lovely cover! I love learning more about the intelligence side of the war; the map-piecing sounds fascinating!

  72. Barbara H. says:

    How generous! And exciting! I’d love to win either one, but first preference would be for When Tides Turn since I have the other books in the series.

  73. Tonya Grider says:

    Can’t wait…..I LOVE LOVE your books and will not miss this new series. I truly believe that if I was around during the WWII era that I would be one of your characters you protray! Keep them rolling!

  74. Cheryl H. says:

    I love stories that take place during WWII! Great cover. 🙂

  75. Pam K. says:

    What a terrific cover for what I’m sure will be a terrific book. I think it’s very interesting to learn more about the behind the scenes aspects of war. I’m looking forward to this new series.

  76. Beth Smith says:

    I love your book series! I have read every single one of them and I am trying to wait so patiently for the next. You are truly a gifted writer and a blessing!!

  77. Jeannie says:

    I love the cover!

  78. Patty says:

    Always fun to see a brand new cover, and the start to a new series!

  79. Melissa M. says:

    I’d love to read this one (or the others)! Haven’t gotten a chance, yet.

  80. Anita Knight says:

    I’m looking forward to this next series. I’m way behind on a couple of your other books but summer’s coming and catch up time is just around the corner. Give me a glass of iced tea and a shady corner. We’ll see what happens.

  81. Debrah Nash says:

    The events that happened to bring this invasion into to play tells us how much time and effort that was needed to orchestrate D-Day will be exciting to read in your new book. Thank you for being historically accurate. I love the cover!! I can’t wait!!

  82. Kim Potter says:

    I love anything that has to do with WW2. Your books are awesome. Thanks for a chance to win one.

  83. Alison Boss says:

    Sarah, the cover for The Sea Before Us is absolutely stunning!!! I LOVE Christian historical fiction and can’t wait to be swept away in the captivating story of Dorothy and Wyatt. It sounds sooo good!! Thanks for the opportunity of this awesome giveaway 🙂 ~Alison

  84. Hi Sarah I absolutely love the cover of your new book. I can’t wait to read it. I love your books and always look forward to reading. Thank you for this opportunity to win one of your books.

  85. Denni Marie Delinski says:

    I cannot wait for the new series. I have read all of your other books, which inspired me to begin collecting World War II artifacts. I have home front banners, ration books, and propaganda posters. Your books just add to my collection!

  86. Lauren says:

    Can’t wait to read this book!! I love all of the historical fiction you have written so far, so this is sure to be another favorite 🙂

  87. This is such a beautiful cover! I look forward (rather impatiently!) to the release of this next book – I love your writing and am currently re-reading the first one 🙂
    God bless – Corrine R, Des Moines, IA

  88. Phyllis Scott says:

    Love the cover of your upcoming book! We visited Normandy a few years ago and we were touched by the lives given by so many for our freedom. It really makes you stop and think about what we have here in America and how it could have been so different if not for the bravery of the many men and women who served.
    Phyllis

  89. Megan Potter says:

    I love the cover!! This book looks great, I can’t wait to read it! I love how in every book of yours I learn something new, and I talk to my brother about it since he’s really into WWII history! And your books have made me more interested about it all 🙂

  90. Sarah, I am so excited for your new series!! You’re my favorite WWII author. 🙂

  91. Kellyn Roth says:

    The cover is absolutely gorgeous! And she’s a redhead. That’s awesome. 🙂 I’m really excited for this book … I’ve never read a lot about this portion of WWII history, and it looks like it’s going to be really interesting! 🙂

  92. I absolutely love your books Sarah and I can’t wait for this new ont to be released. The cover is gorgeous!! A book is just not a book without a gorgeous cover, as all of yours are!
    Thank you much for this giveaway!

    • Sarah Sundin says:

      Thank you, Gay! I’m glad the stories have piqued your interest in history! And what a family legacy you have. I’m so glad you’re passing it on to the next generation.

  109. Samantha Young says:

  113. Susan L says:

    I’m excited to see the first cover for your new series! Based on your previous books, I know this one will be a great read!

  114. Judy says:

    Congrats, Sarah, on the finish of yet another book! I am a avid reader and your name is on my list of go-to authors. 🙂 When I pick up one of your books, I am always confident of finding a great storyline with lots of lovely doses of character building ideas and scripture. I really loved your insights in When Tides Turn that having a Sabbath day of rest is like tithing. Many (many!) years ago when I was in high school, I met an older lady who was a lawyer and used to tutor struggling students in English. She was a strong proponent of tithing her time (hence the tutoring lessons). I have never forgotten her policy and when you mentioned tithing/Sabbath connection in your book, it made me think; I am of the opinion that both views are true.
    All the very best! Your books are such a blessing.
    Judy

    • Sarah Sundin says:

      Thank you, Judy! Believe me, I’m learning that lesson on Sabbath rest right alongside Dan. For some reason, tithing my money and tithing my time in service is easier than resting. Ah, the American life!

  115. Virginia says:

    Ooh, sounds like a great story!

  116. Sara Johns says:

    So excited for this new adventures. Absolutely love your books, Sarah!

  117. Kimberly L says:

  118. Alice F says:

    I love your books Sarah. I am looking forward to reading your next series. Thank you for turning all of your hard work and research into an enjoyable way for us to learn our history.

  119. Robin in NC says:

    What a time in our history! So glad for wonderful writers like you that have the ability to create stories based during these times! Thanks so much!

  120. Pam says:

    I absolutely LOVE your books Ms. Sundin!!! I would love to win a copy!!!!

  121. Melanie Backus says:

  122. Jasmin Lopez says:

    Can’t wait to read the book! Love the cover! Seriously your books are awesome!

  123. Olivia Petty says:

    Absolutely delightful!!!

  124. Sue Riggio says:

    Beautiful cover, I so enjoy your stories Sarah!! How can I possibly wait until February??

  125. Gail Hollingsworth says:

    My father in law passed away April 1 this year at age 93. He was involved in the Normandy invasion. He was in the navy and piloted U-boats that carried troops to the shores of Omaha Beach. I shudder when I think of what a dangerous mission he was involved in.
    Wow, I love the cover of this new book and would love to read it! WWII stories are interesting to me because of my FILs service. I already have When Tides Turn but haven’t had the chance to read and review it yet, but I will…soon.

  126. Rebekah Gyger says:

    I am so excited to read this! I just finished When Tides Turn and was sad to see the Avary brothers go (Along with Jim’s friend), but now there are new brothers to love.

  127. Debbie Troxell says:

    I love your books and am excited to get another one soon!

  128. Mindy says:

  140. Debbie G. says:

    I would love your new book when it comes out. Love stories from WWII. My husbands uncle was shot down and killed over Italy in 1944. He was a pilot. He had a wife and a 2yr old son he never got to meet.

    • Sarah Sundin says:

      Oh, what a sad story. There were too many similar stories during the war.

    • Rhiannon Myers says:

      I am terribly sorry to hear that ! I know that there were a lot of stories like that , but I’ve never met anyone who actually experienced it. I know that the family had to tell him stories about his late father and how heroic he was .

  141. Lynda Kinnard says:

    I am so glad to have read your books and love telling new friends and acquaintances or even strangers about them!

  142. bobbi bradley says:

    I am reading the Anchor in the Storm book from the library. I am looking forward to read the next book AND the first book of your new series. The cover looks so wonderful!

  149. Mary Hart says:

    This series is going on my TBR list! My sister & brother -in -law & their adult kids just came back from France & visited some of the war sites. They said the experience was “sobering”. My father was there in WWII , so they probably saw some of the places where he was. He never wanted to talk about it.

    • Sarah Sundin says:

      Hi Mary! Not wanting to talk about it was very common – a way to cope. I’m glad your family was able to visit Normandy. It is indeed sobering.

  150. Trish says:

  157. Cynthia St. Germain says:

    I love the cover of the book. I also love that you write about a time that will short only be able to be read in books because so many of that generation are getting older or passing away. I listen to the stories of that time from both my grandparents, aunt and mother. My mother was actually 6 mo. when Pearl Harbor was bombed. I had relatives who served on my father’s side. My grandfather couldn’t serve in the military but did he duty at home. I hope that stories like these will help keep the heroics of that generation never get forgotten.
