The Of Windmills & War series is Diane Moody’s most ambitious project, tracing the impact of World War II on families across multiple generations. The first book, Of Windmills and War, was published in 2012 and set the story in motion with characters caught up in the European theater. Beyond the Shadow of War and From the Ashes of War continued the narrative through the war’s aftermath.
More recent additions, including The Journey from War in 2023 and A Time of Rage, A Time of War in 2025, have extended the series further. The books combine historical detail with the faith-centered storytelling that defines Moody’s work, and the generational scope gives the series more weight than a typical wartime novel.
