Manhattan art dealer Sera
James watched her world crumble at the altar two years ago, and her
heart is still fragile. Her desire for distraction reignites a passion
for a mysterious portrait she first saw as a young girl---a painting of a
young violinist with piercing blue eyes.
In her search for the
painting, Sera crosses paths with William Hanover, the grandson of a
wealthy California real estate mogul, who may be the key to uncovering
the hidden masterpiece. Together, Sera and William slowly unravel the
story behind the painting's subject: Austrian violinist Adele Von Bron.
A darling of the Austrian
aristocracy, talented violinist, and daughter to a high-ranking member
of the Third Reich, Adele risks everything when she begins smuggling
Jews out of Vienna. In a heartbeat, her life of prosperity and privilege
dissolves into a world of starvation and barbed wire.
As Sera untangles the secrets
behind the painting, she finds beauty in the most unlikely of places:
in the grim camps of Auschwitz and in the inner recesses of her own
troubled heart.

My Thoughts:
I know I won’t be able to adequately
express how much I loved this book.
Kristy Cambron’s debut novel is a song
among the pages. She writes a very painful yet touching story about the
Holocaust.
Kristy tells this story from present
day to war torn Austria.
Sera, an American art gallery owner, who has been looking for a painting of a
woman holding a violin she saw as a child when she went to Germany with
her dad. William has hired Sera to find this painting to put an end to his
grandfather’s will. Adele, a young violinist for the Vienna Philharmonic
Orchestra, who gets caught smuggling Jews out of Austria,
and is sent to Auschwitz, where she becomes a
part of the women’s orchestra to play during the morning selections.
Can something beautiful come from something
dark and ugly? Kristy shows that it can. Just like us, God takes our broken
life and makes it sing for Him.
Highly recommended!
