Review by Booklist Review

Trumpeter Maggie McCleod is a blast of sass, but her razor wit gets her into more trouble than she cares to admit. Violinist Catherine Duquette longs to find the love she lost to war, but squirms under her parents' disapproval. Joining the USO's Foxhole Circuit tour brings both women the freedom to follow their dreams while doing their part for the war effort, one toe-tapping show at a time. When their troupe discovers that an elite touring contract is at stake, competition between the performers fades into camaraderie as brushes with war cue them to the harsh realities underway beyond the stage. Green (The Blackout Book Club, 2022) deserves a standing ovation for her rousing story of unlikely friendships, courage over comfort, and the impactful work of USO performers during WWII. The Foxhole Victory Tour transports readers from the concert halls of Minnesota to the coasts of Casablanca to the active war zone of Tunisia. It is plot-driven without sacrificing relational drama, and its ragtag supporting cast of lovable misfits thoughtfully portrays the art and heart of live performance.
