One step ahead of the Nazi’s. . .leaves Nadia little room for hope.
 
Full of intrigue, adventure, and romance, this new series celebrates the unsung heroes—the heroines of WWII.
 
After her father is murdered by Nazis and her mother flees to her native Germany, hope is something of which Nadia Roenne feels little—even if it is the meaning of her name. It isn’t until an American photographer sacrifices his escape from Poland to save a Jewish family, that she finds a purpose. David Reid is very familiar with failure, but when he is charged with getting Nadia safely out of Poland, he is determined to succeed—even if she works against him at every turn, putting other’s lives ahead of her own. While they race against the daily shower of bombs over Warsaw and the ever-nearing German army, Nadia grows used to risking her life. . .but dare she risk her heart?

Marilyn's thoughts:   Capturing Hope is a worthwhile read even though painful to read how the Nazis invaded Poland. The heroine Nadia had a sheltered life but she had fortitude when she had to flee with David, an American Photographer.

 

Crouch captured the history of Poland invasion in 1939 with her well researched history and brought this part of WWII to life. The heroine and hero were complex with characteristics surviving multiple obstacles and aiding others. Their compassion for innocent children shined brightly. There were several unexpected events that gave way to one earth shattering read, along with suspense, traumas, faith and budding romance. I appreciated how Crouch ended the tale in her epilogue.
