So wrote an Australian prisoner-of-war, Corporal LancelotDavies, only recently taken prisoner at the first battle ofBullecourt, on 11 April 1917. For him – like another 1,200Australians captured at Bullecourt – the future was indeed‘blank’ and unpredictable. The experiences of Australianprisoners of war (POWs) or Kriegsgefangeners heldcaptive in Germany has been largely forgotten or ignored–overshadowed by the horrid stories of Australiansimprisoned by the Japanese during World War II. Yet, asDavid Coombes makes known, the stories are interestingand significant – not only providing an account of whatthose young Australian soldiers experienced, and the spirit they showed in responding to captivity – but also for theinsight it provides into Germany in the last eighteen months of the war.Drawing on previous inaccessible records – including interviews conducted by the late David Chalk as well as privatepapers and unpublished manuscripts (all part of the Chalk Collection) – Coombes focuses on one Australian brigade,the 4th Infantry, from its formation in 1914, through Gallipoli to its baptism of fire on the Western Front, culminating inthe first battle of Bullecourt – which, in turn, leads to the prisoner of war experience.An unknown future was certainly what awaited those mostly young soldiers as POWs – whether it be exposed to theirown artillery fire while working for the enemy ‘behind the line’; in a hospital ward somewhere in France or Germany; orbehind wire, in a camp, in Germany. What remained constant, and gave them reason to stay alive, often in the mosthorrendous circumstances, was their desire to be free – to get back to their family and loved ones in Australia.

Sixteen year old Rachel Harker expects the church sponsored hiking trip in the Smoky Moun-tains to be short and painless. Four days later, injured and scared, Rachel prays to just make it home alive. Asher Jenkins, fellow hiker and handsome skeptic who is only on the hike so he doesn’t have to go home and face his abusive ‘uncle’, finds Rachel in the woods and tries to get her back to Deep Creek Trail. A small hole hidden under the fall leaves causes her ankle to twist and forces Asher to leave her to get help. As night falls, he comes back, unable to find the right trail. As hours stretch into days, an unexpected rainstorm bears down the mountain, flooding Deep Creek and cutting off their way home. Rachel puts all of her faith in God to save them. Asher thinks believing in God is a waste of time and does what he can to prove to Rachel that He doesn’t exist. With their food gone and the temperature dropping, time is running out. Will Rachel be able to do what needs to be done to get home? And can Asher find faith when he needs it the most?
