Capturing Hope by Angela K. Couch (Heroines of WWII)

First of all, I have enjoyed this series so much and am thrilled to read another in the series that deals with two countries that are my personal heritage.  Germany and Poland. Nadia's father is killed by the Nazis and is left by her German mother.  This is a very dramatic book that touched my soul.  My own mother suffered terribly in the War.  And I have been really drawn to the messages in this series of books. This is a really well written book with Christian values.  I loved the changes that transpired Nadia into the woman she becomes despite the privileged life she has had before.The history of these two countries is quite intertwined and the author has done an excellent job of capturing  the events in her story.  I really recommend this book.  I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher.  All thoughts and opinions are my own.

A Rose for the Resistance by Angela K. Couch

This was a very poignant story taking place in France during WWII. As this young French woman came in contact with a German soldier, they find there is good and bad on both sides and  that their faith will see them through. Rosalie has experienced losses and has a teenaged brother who wants to support his country and do his part.  Rosalie wants to keep her brother safe.

It's a story of the French Resistance and brave characters which aren't willing to give up.  Rosalie has faith and trusts in the Bible that she feels has kept her safe at all times. Franz is a German officer and is not supportive of the Nazis.  As he shows kindness to Rosalie and her family, she wonders if he can be trusted.  

I really enjoyed this book.  I could totally relate to the story and the situations it encompassed.  It was a good book.  I highly recommend this and am happy that I had the opportunity to read this excellent book.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from the Barbour Publishing Company and was not required to post a review.  All thoughts are my own.

The Backcountry Brides Collection by Multiple Authors

This book had several new authors for me.  It was a nice addition to Barbour books Brides Collections.  It was so fun to read about these 18th Century women, brave and courageous in so many ways!  I doubt I would have been!

The time periods span from 1754-1792.  This for sure would be a time of great discovery in our country in a dangerous time where life was much more difficult in many ways.  These were sweet, clean stories and full of adventure.  Never a dull moment!

I hope that you will take time to read these great stories!
