November is a month of remembering and gratitude, with the celebration of our Savior’s birth on the horizon.

So first, let us remember. In Canada, November 11th is called Remembrance Day and I have always felt that so appropriate as we look back with gratitude to those who have risked and given so much to protect lives and freedoms. It felt so right when Capturing Hope, my latest WWII novel was released at the beginning of this month. And somewhat timely with the current war involving Israel. Least we forget…

After her father is murdered by Nazis and her mother flees to her native Germany, hope is something of which Nadia Roenne feels little—even if it is the meaning of her name. It isn’t until an American photographer sacrifices his escape from Poland to save a Jewish family, that she finds a purpose. David Reid is very familiar with failure, but when he is charged with getting Nadia safely out of Poland, he is determined to succeed—even if she works against him at every turn, putting other’s lives ahead of her own. While they race against the daily shower of bombs over Warsaw and the ever-nearing German army, Nadia grows used to risking her life. . .but dare she risk her heart?
