This is an exceptional book! Here's my review:
Wow! What an exceptional book! My emotions are all over the place. From deep despair to a promising future, but what a road to get there. Trust is the main theme of this book. Trust in others, trust when there seems to be no hope and ultimately trust in God.
The characters are written brilliantly. Kai brought tears to my eyes, tears for the pain that she endured, tears for the losses in her life, and then tears of happiness when she can finally leave her past behind and embrace her future. Ryan reminds me of Jesus. His sacrificial love for others almost cost him his life.
I can't say that this isn't a difficult book to read because it is. Because of the time frame and the historical significance, there is a lot of violence. There is also hope and restoration. There's also a realistic struggle with trusting God. I appreciated the author's note in regard to this.
I certainly look forward to reading the next book by Janyre Tromp. Her writing drew me in, and I read in anticipation of what would happen next!
I highly recommend reading this book!
Here's my review: This book was informative and interesting! I love it when authors take a piece of history and create an amazing fictional story. FDR is one of the presidents that I admire and this book showcased his leadership abilities and his dedication to the United States of America. Lizzie is an exceptional woman! She's an advocate, a confidant, and extremely loyal. She stayed with FDR literally until the end. We need more people in the world like Lizzie!
