Publisher's Summary

For fans of best-selling WWII fiction comes a powerful novel from Lynn Austin about three women whose lives are instantly changed when the Nazis invade the neutral Netherlands, forcing each into a complicated dance of choice and consequence. 

Lena is a wife and mother who farms alongside her husband in the tranquil countryside. Her faith has always been her compass, but can she remain steadfast when the questions grow increasingly complex and the answers could mean the difference between life and death?  

Lena’s daughter, Ans, has recently moved to the bustling city of Leiden, filled with romantic notions of a new job and a young Dutch police officer. But when she is drawn into Resistance work, her idealism collides with the dangerous reality that comes with fighting the enemy.  

Miriam is a young Jewish violinist who immigrated for the safety she thought Holland would offer. She finds love in her new country, but as her family settles in Leiden, the events that follow will test them in ways she could never have imagined.  

The Nazi invasion propels these women onto paths that cross in unexpected, sometimes-heartbreaking ways. Yet the story that unfolds illuminates the surprising endurance of the human spirit and the power of faith and love to carry us through.

A wonderful story of great suffering and joy.

This has been my second read/ listen. I enjoyed it just as much as the first time. The people depicted are both in fear for their lives and questioning where God is in this horror of war and deprivation of liberty yet they learn to trust him as he answers prayers although not in the way they expected. Each character that survives has grown into a person that truly appreciates the bond of love with their fellow man and God teaches them not to hate their enemies…eventually. A truly engaging book.
Jacqui.

Beautiful Bravery At It’s Best!

Many brave and sorry souls weave their threads together to tell us their story of utter despair, desperation and darkness while they hold onto Hope, bravery, sacrifice for a better tomorrow. Once you enter this world, you’ll want to keep listening for what happens next. A terrific well written story.

Riveting page turner!

Each character portrayed in a way that I could relate to them!
The strong message of where their courage and endurance comes from ! Their Creator!!
This could have been s very depressing subject but throughout their is many rays of light and humor and humility runny through out!
Sad to say goodbye to these characters! Thank you Lyn Austin! Looking fed to your next book in my library!
