In the spring of 1957, Jacob Versteeg is graduating from high school at the top of his class. Quite an accomplishment for a guy who spent his young childhood in a German concentration camp. When the war ended, he was adopted by Huub Versteeg, a kind fellow POW at Bergen-Belsen who had taken him under his wing. For ten years Jacob grew up in Chicago surrounded by the love of his new family, including Danny and Anya McClain and their two young children. In fact, he has thrived.

But Jacob still struggles to understand the void left in his heart by his German parents who discarded him at the doorstep of war. After his first year at Wheaton College, Jacob joins a summer study course in West Germany. There, he realizes he must gather his courage to overcome his past if he's ever to complete his long journey from war.

I loved the way this story wrapped up the series. Windmills of war was such a great beginning and it was so great to see it end with Jacob. Well done.

The wonderful end of a great series. .

I enjoyed the first three books in this series but this was not for me. Too preachy and religious.

Couldn’t finish

I have loved the first 3 books of this series, with a gradual building of depth in the backstories and ongoing lives of early characters. This book fell off the shelf, however, when an unexpected plot twist half way through the book seemed completely implausible. It completely derailed the established character of beloved family member and seemed like a ‘hail Mary’ thrown by the author to keep the story going. By the end it was all tied up nicely in a bow, I wished the author went in another direction. I did enjoy the series & still feel it’s worth listening to.

Major plot disappointment
