Sarah stared in disbelief at the lone house standing charred and vacant amid the rubble of war-torn Hamburg. Like herself, the family home had been miraculously preserved. But why? In the fog of painful memory nothing made sense -- except the two American missionaries. . . and their remarkable blessing. . . A few years before, Sarah had become a Latter-day Saint. But then came the terror of the Third Reich. Will her newfound faith survive the trials before her -- the loss of family and friend, the horror of the Holocaust. and the heartache of an interfaith marriage? And what will she do when her son begins inquiring about her past?
The story seemed a bit scattered to me, but the information was remarkable. I love learning about war times and am fascinated with religions of all kinds. This is an interesting, realistic story about life and faith and love and tearing down the walls we put up. It was a good read if you are interested in these things as well.
