Publisher Description
A University Student Smuggles Children Out of Amsterdam
Full of intrigue, adventure, and romance, this series celebrates the unsung heroes—the heroines of WWII.
Helen Smit believed she was called by God to become a teacher. Little does she know that her care for kids will take a drastic turn for survival when the Germans occupy Amsterdam and Jewish children and parents begin to be deported. Now all she can think of is helping all the kids escape before it’s too late.
Erik Misman’s newfound love for Helen is tested when he joins a plot to help move Jewish children to a safe place in the countryside. If danger can foster a closer bond with Helen and save the lives of the little ones, he will do it all. But a German patrol that stumbles upon the farm where they are hiding with three children and a soldier who takes an unexpected interest in Helen, could well destroy their plans for safety and love.

Customer Reviews
Live one day at a time.
What is impossible for us is possible with God. One can’t live in peace under tyranny.
This story might make you want to scream a warning, perhaps even bite your nails, and it most certainly will make you think about what you might have done if you found yourself in the same situation. Helen Smit has dreams and aspirations just like most young people - she wants to be a teacher. Erik Minger works in a very busy grocery store with the possibility of perhaps taking over some day. A chance meeting, a picnic by the sea, occupation and annexation come together to force these young people to grow up very fast and make decisions that affect others. Will their faith see them through?
