About this ebook

A University Student Smuggles Children Out of Amsterdam

Full of intrigue, adventure, and romance, this series celebrates the unsung heroes—the heroines of WWII.
 
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.

Ratings and reviews

I like how this series the Heroines of WWII captures the bravery of women as they fight to save all that is right and true, including in this novel, saving the children that have been affected by the Nazi machine. Thankfully, the Nazis didn't win in the end, but they did cause untold suffering to a great many innocents. I received a complimentary copy of #escapefromamsterdam from #barbourpublishing I was under no obligation to post a review.

An excellent book and one that is very close to my own heart. I received a complimentary copy of this book from Barbour Publishing without being required to post a positive review. All thoughts are my own.
