"History and Inspiration come together!"
After the break up of her engagement, Anna Strayer
traveled to war torn Germany to visit her Aunt and Uncle.
Upon finding them knee deep in the Underground
movement, Anna joined them in saving as many lives
as possible even though the consequences would be
dire should she be caught by the Gestapo. At every
turn, Lieutenant Ricard Von Heimer, of the Wertheim
Gestapo turned up in Anna's path, issuing warnings to
"stay home" and not buy her fish late at night. As the
Lieutenant was a friend of the family, Anna was
constantly seeing him at her Aunt and Uncle's home
and soon found herself falling in love with the
enemy...or was he? As Anna became more and more involved in the
underground, she also became more and more
involved with Ricard. They soon found themselves
prisoners of the Gestapo and guests in the death
camps of Germany. Through the many trials and fears of
Hitler's madness, Anna learned to call upon her trust
and faith in God to pull not only herself through the evils
surrounding her, but to guard those she came to love. This book is a very well written account of faith
outweighing the evil that surrounded Hitler's reign of
terror. It is a book that is meant not only for those who
love Inspirational Romance, but the history lover as
well. Ms. Lopes has taken an era that is not covered
often and opened wide the door to understanding those
who stood to protect others at great peril to their own
lives. Very well written and very much a must read!
