In a novel set in World War II and present-day, two women will discover a powerful connection through one concentration camp survivor's story of hope in the darkest days.
1942--K ja Makovsky narrowly escaped Nazi-occupied Prague in 1939 and was forced to leave behind her half-Jewish family. Now a reporter for The Daily Telegraph in England, K ja discovers the terror has followed her across the Channel in the shadowy form of the London Blitz. When she learns Jews are being exterminated by the thousands on the continent, she has no choice but to return to her mother city, risking her life to smuggle her family to freedom and peace.
Present Day--With the grand opening of her new art gallery and a fairy-tale wedding just around the corner, Sera James feels like she's stumbled into a charmed life--until a brutal legal battle against fianc William Hanover threatens to destroy their future before it even begins.
Now, after an eleventh-hour wedding ceremony and a callous arrest, William faces a decade in prison for a crime he never committed, and Sera must battle the scathing accusations that threaten her family and any hope for a future with the man she loves.
Connecting across a century through one little girl, a Holocaust survivor with a foot in each world, these two women will discover a kinship that springs even in the darkest of times. In this tale of hope and survival, Sera and K ja must cling to the faith that sustains them and fight to protect all they hold dear-even if it means placing their own futures on the line.
