Book Description: Helen Smit believed she was called by God to become a teacher. Little does she know that her care for kids will take a drastic turn for survival when the Germans occupy Amsterdam and Jewish children and parents begin to be deported. Now all she can think of is helping all the kids escape before it’s too late.
Erik Misman’s newfound love for Helen is tested when he joins a plot to help move Jewish children to a safe place in the countryside. If danger can foster a closer bond with Helen and save the lives of the little ones, he will do it all. But a German patrol that stumbles upon the farm where they are hiding with three children and a soldier who takes an unexpected interest in Helen, could well destroy their plans for safety and love.
My Thoughts: A new to me author and a book about WWII. What a win-win in the reading world!
I wasn't quite sure what to expect but soon found out this is an on the edge of your seat story. The kind I love because I don't know what to expect.
Helen Smit is quite a young lady with alot of guts and gumption.
She know in her heart that God wants her to be a teacher but instead of teaching children she soon is trying to get Jewish chidden out of Amsterdam and out of the Nazis way.
Then Erik Misman who loves Helen decides to help get the children tp safety.
This is a harrowing story of two brave young people who are trying to do the right thing and get innocent children to safety.
My heart sank when the German patrol accidentally found the farm where Erik, Helen and the children had taken refuge. And then a German soldier decides he likes Helen. So much for being ambiguous and safe.
When all seems lost, God shows up to help them.
I loved this story! So inspiring!
