Two women, one in the present day and one in 1942, each hope for a brighter future. But they'll both have to battle through their darkest days to reach it.
Today.
With the grand opening of her new gallery and a fairytale wedding
months away, Sera James appears to have a charmed life. But in an
instant, the prospect of a devastating legal battle surrounding her
fiancé threatens to tear her dreams apart. Sera and William rush to
marry and are thrust into a world of doubt and fear as they defend
charges that could separate them for life.
June 1942.
After surviving the Blitz bombings that left many Londoners with
shattered lives, Kája Makovsky prayed for the war to end so she could
return home to Prague. But despite the horrors of war, the gifted
journalist never expected to see a headline screaming the extermination
of Jews in work camps. Half-Jewish with her family in danger, Kája has
no choice but to risk everything to get her family out of Prague. But
with the clutches of evil all around, her escape plan crumbles into
deportation, and Kája finds herself in a new reality as the art teacher
to the children of Terezin.
Bound by a story of hope and the survival of one little girl, both Sera and Kája will fight to protect all they hold dear.Note: This book two in Kristy Cambron's Hidden Masterpiece series. You can find book one, The Butterfly and the Violin, here.

My Thoughts:
Kristy takes us right into the midst of WWII,the blitz in London, the horror of the concentration camps, and then to modern day London, and San Francisco. Kristy doesn't miss a beat, and the imagery is both heartbreaking and beautiful.
Highly recommended!
