About this listen

In this gripping portrait of war and its aftermath from bestselling author Lynn Austin, a young woman searches for the truth her childhood friend won’t discuss after returning from World War II, revealing a story of courage, friendship, and faith.

Peggy Serrano couldn’t wait for her best friend to come home from the war. But the Jimmy Barnett who returns is much different from the Jimmy who left, changed so drastically by his experience as a medic in Europe that he can barely function. When he attempts the unthinkable, his parents check him into the VA hospital. Peggy determines to help the Barnetts unravel what might have happened to send their son over the edge. She starts by contacting Jimmy’s war buddies, trying to identify the mysterious woman in the photo they find in Jimmy’s belongings.

Seven years earlier, sensing the rising tide against her people, Gisela Wolff and her family flee Germany aboard the passenger ship St. Louis, bound for Havana, Cuba. Gisela meets Sam Shapiro on board and the two fall quickly in love. But the ship is denied safe harbor and sent back to Europe. Thus begins Gisela’s perilous journey of exile and survival, made possible only by the kindness and courage of a series of strangers she meets along the way, including one man who will change the course of her life.

Such a beautiful story!

Sadly our Jewish descendants had to endure the atrocities of the holocaust. This story captures the experiences that must have been of many. But also how those who tried to intervene were affected as well. All of this enveloped by the promise of God to never leave us. One of the best books I’ve listened to!!

A beautiful story

A heart wrenching and heart warming story told by one of my favorite narrators. Faith, love, hope, and friendship told through WWII experiences.

Incredible story

I have been so impressed by each and everyone one of Lynn Austin‘s books, but this one just blew me away. It helped me understand my family better. I have German Jewish grandparents on my mom and dad side. This helped me understand why they wouldn’t or couldn’t share their stories. What a powerful and wonderful book. The narrator also did an incredible job.

to Cuba.

Finally something different!

Yes, there are a couple aspects of this book that follow the expected path, However, there are also aspects that break the traditional, stereotypical endings/conclusions. It was a good book from beginning to end but it was not predictable, and that is what I’ve been looking for.

The ending is the best

The ending shows a faithful God despite the evil that happens in this world. It opened my eyes to what people who are indifferent and do nothing can enable.
