DISCLAIMER: I read A Question Of Courage by Jesseca Wheaton in exchange for my honest opinions.
SUMMARY
A man. A decision. A destiny.
Rafe Sullivan never imagined the war would come to his doorstep. But when Pearl Harbor is attacked and America's focus suddenly shifts to the pacific, he finds he can't ignore the problem anymore.
Leaving the life he loves behind, he joins up to do what he does best. Fly.
Yet, nothing could have prepared him for the horrors of war, and the struggle that is going on in his own heart. As an outstanding navy pilot, he is stationed on one of the few Pacific carriers. But could God be calling him to step out in faith, and go beyond the call of duty?
Lily Wilson gives her all to help the hurting community around her. With the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the war is brought home to many American families. And as a nurse, she longs to be able to relive some of the suffering. Yet, her own grief is still fresh in her heart, and though she's made the decision to get on with her life, she can't seem to leave the past behind. When healing at last comes, the guard she placed around her heart slowly begins to crumble.
But when she receives the news she hoped she would never again hear, can she trust that God’s plan is always right?
Arthur Warrington saw the Navy as an escape from the life he left behind. And it seems good for him. He is able to forge new friendships and distance himself from his past. But when his best friend makes a decision that rocks his world, he is left grappling with the question: what is true courage?
Three lives. One War. And a search for the Courage to go on.

MY REVIEW
A Question of Courage is the second book in the Questions of War series. I loved the first book so much, so I was so excited to read book two. So let me just say this. I LOVED THIS BOOK!!!!! Everything about it was amazing! The characters, the story line, EVERYTHING!
So at first I wasn't sure if I was going to like having Rafe as a main character. I mean, he's David's brother (so he's not going to be that bad), but I had decided that David was my all time favorite character in the first book. But Rafe was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! He was funny, godly, sweet, brave, and I just loved him so much. So although I still like David a lot, I like Rafe more :)
Lily is so sweet and I loved to read about her continuing journey after what happened in book one.
Art, Elaine, David, Little Gil, and Joy were all amazing too.
All of the characters seem so real. They are all so sweet and its so sad to see them going through the horrors of the war. And I love the little mention of Erich at the very end of the book! I hope he's in book three! (why do I like this bad guy so much?)

And I loved the OZ guys ;)
I loved the humor in the book to help balance out the sadness. Jesseca did a wonderful job with that and she actually had me laughing out loud in some parts! :D
There's also some pretty serious parts in the book that almost brought me to the verge of tears.

I love Jesseca's writing style. It's very easy to understand but the way Jesseca writes makes everything come to life. And I loved how realistic she made the war. She did a great job of showing the bad and the good.
You can definitely tell that Jesseca did her research. Especially with those war scenes.

I don't have anything negative to say about it. *non nod*
So yes. This story is absolutely beautiful and I HIGHLY recommend A Question Of Courage. It's definitely worth 5 stars. Maybe even more.
So go buy this book now. You won't be disappointed.
