Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. An epic WWII story set in Poland and Czechoslovakia. Full of history, adventure and a romance. An impressive debut novel, with main characters who face many dangerous situations and put their lives on the line throughout the war years. Adia's courageous mission to save the unique horses, and help vulnerable children as well, is inspirational. There are tense moments lending some suspense to the story and perilous times as they endure the war years. It made me appreciate the bravery and sacrifice of people caught in the conflict between Germany and Russia. The author lends her firsthand knowledge of horses to make the story feel authentic. A few brief mentions of faith added hope. Fans of inspirational WWII stories with a little clean romance may enjoy this book. 4.5 stars (An ebook was provided by the publisher via NetGalley. All opinions expressed are my own.) This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers. I enjoyed this read, filled with danger, and yet, we see compassion, and sometimes from people you really don't expect it from.The characters here live in the mine of the author, and we get to become friends and companions in our minds, and this takes place as the evil that was penetrating Europe at this horrible time in history. We journey to save the beautiful horses of Poland, Arabians, and the danger that is everywhere, and whom to trust. Times were so full of danger, and the senseless lost of life, but this is a story of survival, or the want to keep the beautiful horses alive. The author gives us danger, in many forms, and a scamp of a little boy, or should I say pick pocket, that we watch grow up, along with some very sweet romance. This read did become a page turner me, as the years of the war and events happen, I wanted answers and to see whom survives! I received this book through LibraryThing and the Publisher Revell, and was not required to give a positive review. no reviews | add a review

Adia is stubborn and interesting, though it too me a little bit to connect with her. I loved the light romance between her and Bret, but also like how it didn't overtake the story. The faith element is light as well, giving a lightness and hope to some dark and dangerous times.
This is an interesting, unique, and satisfying WWII story that gives me a more rounded view of the war time tragedies and triumphs.
