You may need the tissues handy, this book will grip you and not let go, and all the while I'm wondering how can some people be so cold hearted?

Through the eyes of the author we find those who are willing to give everything to help save another life. Why, is this happening, there are many answers and we will probably never know why some would do the evil that they do, but there are those who really live their faith, and we are there to see their ultimate sacrifice.

Be sure to read the author's notes at the end of this book, I love how the author put so much truth and actual people in this read.

I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Tyndale, and was not required to give a positive review.

Saving Amelie by Cathy Gohlke was a superb book. One of my favorite genres of books is World War II resistance novels, and I haven’t read a good one in awhile, so I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

Out of all the WWII resistance novels I’ve read, none have focused on the appalling eugenics theories / practices of the Nazi regime. During a trip to Germany, the main character in the book, Rachel, discovers that her American scientist father is heavily involved in the eugenics movement, and that she was separated from her identical twin at birth (in Germany) as part of a twisted experiment. Simultaneously, she also becomes involved with helping to save little Amelie, the deaf daughter of an American friend and an evil Nazi officer. Amelie’s father is determined to get rid of her, as having a deaf daughter is an embarrassment to his position in the Reich. A handsome American reporter begins helping Rachel and Amelie, and searches for a way for them to escape Germany.

I don’t want to give away too much of the story, but there are also several sections of the novel that focus on the teachings of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, so that was very interesting.

I really enjoyed this book and wish there were more like it! It was a mix of history, romance, intrigue, and excitement. If you like historical romance novels or WWII novels, I would absolutely recommend this book!

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Tyndale House Publishers for this review. The opinions expressed are my own.

This is WW2 fiction at its finest looking at different aspects of Hilter's Germany and really bringing the past alive., I absolutely loved this book and bonded with the characters. Outstanding read.,
