Capturing Hope by Angela K. Couch

Capturing Hope is part of the Heroines of World War II series by Angela K Couch. This book was the fantastic amazing fictional story story of Nadia. The story opens with Nadia and her father and a mysterious American photographer, named David. This is just when Germany is invading Poland. Nadia‘s father gives David specific instructions to safely help Nadia out of Poland. David is on a mission to get her out, but it ends there. Or will it? Along the way David and Nadia have compassionate hearts to help and save others. 

Although this is a difficult and deep subject, the author also made it a great fictional read. Using a very heartbreaking topic, the author was able to make it a very a interesting story. The author did leave me with a few questions at the end, but I did enjoy the story. In fact, I couldn’t put it down. I couldn't wait to read to find out how the story ended. Nadia's compassionate heart is an inspiration. I would highly recommend Capturing Hope by Angela Couch.

The Warsaw Sisters by Amanda Barratt

The Warsaw sisters by Amanda Barrett shares the heavy and heartbreaking story of two women in Poland during the German invasion starting in 1939. This heavy tale weaves the story of these two sisters, their loss, loves, their hardship, their secrets, and their tragedy. This is a deep book to read. Helena and Antonia are twins. They share everything, but will the German invasion prevent that? What will happen to the closeness they once shared? How far will they go? What will they do to survive?

I will admit I had trouble getting started with the story because of the heaviness. I would say this is definitely historical fiction with a lot of facts. Once I was able to get into the story, I could not put it down. I was enthralled. The story of Antonia and Helena, the tragedies they endure, and the twist and turns of the story were amazing. It is a heavy book, but is definitely worth the read. This is part of the World War II Poland series. Lots of historical information but also a wonderful read. I would highly recommend.
