A Picture of Hope
(Heroines of WWII)
October 1, 2021
Full of intrigue, adventure, and romance, this series celebrates the unsung heroes—the heroines of WWII.
Journalist Nellie Wilkerson has spent the bulk of the war in London, photographing mothers standing in milk lines—and she’s bored. She jumps at the chance to go to France, where the Allied forces recently landed. There she enlists Jean-Paul Breslau of the French underground to take her to the frontlines. On the journey, they stumble upon a great tragedy, leaving a girl with special needs being orphaned.
Can Nellie and Jean-Paul see the child to a safe haven while being pursued by the Nazis, who are pressed by the advancing Allies and determined to destroy all they can before they flee?
Marilyn’s thoughts: This
story is a gripping, heartfelt and emotional story set during the resistance in
France during 1944. Nellie’s and Jean-Paul’s story was will written with the
author’s detailed to her research and sharing tidbits of the research with the
readers at the end of this captivating tale that happened from the start.
Nellie dream of being in the midst of the
fighting to report back to the Tribune was more than she had imagined. A
meeting with Jean-Paul and others gave way to a tale that had me in the action
of the fighting, running for their lives, caring for a young child and so much
more. There’s a delicate weaving of a faith message among primary and secondary
characters that brought a beautiful ending to lives that held their faith in
God despite all the evil they had experienced and was witnessing in the
present.
I highly recommend this book to fans of
history and the WWII era. I want to read the other books Barbour Publishing is
releasing this series, Heroines of WWII.
Thank you to Barbour Publishing, Netgalley
and the author for a complimentary copy of this book without any obligation to
write a positive review. I have expressed my own opinion.
