Review By: Galactic Geek (Inmate)

An amazing tale of faith and love inspired by true stories of refugees who were caught between two fighting factions during WWII.

This is a novel based on the true life story and struggles of young Emil and Adeline Martel who were caught between the terror of Stalin’s red army and Hitler’s Nazi fanaticism. They spend a better part of this book trying to escape with their two young boys. Germans that were replanted in Ukraine were in a country where they never really belonged. They were put there to farm the lands but World War II made them refugees caught between two fighting factions. This is an amazing story of faith and love. The love of Emil and Adeline that even when apart, never separated them. Perfectly loved is the standing theme of this book. The author also wrote Beneath a Scarlet Sky, another amazing WWII survival story of love and faith. Two “out of the park” stories of real people, real families, and a real-world war that pulled so many apart with many life-threatening situations of the time period. Mark Sullivan is a heart-string-pulling writer.
