9 posts | 7 read | 6 to read
What happened to Brigitte Berthold? That question has haunted Daniel Knight since he was thirteen, when he and ten-year-old Brigitte escaped the Gestapo agents who arrested both their parents. They survived a harrowing journey from Germany to England, only to be separated upon their arrival. Daniel vowed to find Brigitte after the war, a promise he has fought to fulfill for more than seventy years. Now a wealthy old man, Daniels final hope in finding Brigitte rests with Quenby Vaughn, an American journalist working in London. He believes Quenbys tenacity to find missing people and her personal investment in a related WWII espionage story will help her succeed where previous investigators have failed. Though Quenby is wrestling her own demonsand wary at the idea of teaming up with Daniels lawyer, Lucas Houghthe lure of Brigittes story is too much to resist. Together, Quenby and Lucas delve deep into the past, following a trail of deception, sacrifice, and healing that could change all of their futures.

Here‘s my progress on this book. I still don‘t like it. I think it‘s the writing style that I don‘t like and I don‘t understand why Christian stuff was added to the story in the beginning. I‘m a Christian and I don‘t have a problem reading Christian fiction but I don‘t think Christian stuff really fits into this story because this isn‘t a story that focuses on God that much. God is just a background character in this book.

I just started this book. This one is on my #bookspinbingo list. I don‘t like it yet. It‘s starting off slow and I‘m not feeling invested in the story right now but I‘m hoping that it gets better. If not then I‘ll probably DNF it.

Changed my mind on what book I wanted to read. Picked this one out of my cup. So far its good. Just in chapter two. Not to far into it. Hopefully it continues to be good. I have never read any books by this author. Hopefully this will be a new favorite author.

(I‘ve gotten behind on reviews (+ Litsy in general) for this week 🤦🏼‍♀️, but I have been reading.)

#BuzzwordBookathon Book 2 ✔️

The fate of a girl that went missing while on the run during WWII connects past and present. As Quenby Vaughn tries to find her, she uncovers a story of family, sacrifice, and deception, and I really enjoyed it.

I completely forgot to share some of the books that made it into my home this month! This cover is so pretty and I'm hoping the author will become a new favorite for me in historical fiction. Anyone read it yet?

Gripping, from the first word to the last. Not to often do I find a novel that leaves me speechless with it's amazing writing, outstanding plot, and perfect characters, but this book is it. Catching The Wind is a must read that will give you new perspective and insight into WWII, and the bonds from the era that are never broken.
