Now all she can think of is helping all the kids escape before it's too late. Erik Misman's newfound love for Helen is tested when he joins a plot to help move Jewish children to a safe place in the countryside. If danger can foster a closer bond with Helen and save the lives of the little ones, he will do it all. But a German patrol that stumbles upon the farm where they are hiding with three children and a soldier who takes an unexpected interest in Helen could well destroy their plans for safety and love." -- Amazon.

ESCAPE FROM AMSTERDAM (Heroines of WWII #7)
by Lauralee Bliss
I like how this series the Heroines of WWII captures the bravery of women as they fight to save all that is right and true, including in this novel, saving the children that have been affected by the Nazi machine. Thankfully, the Nazis didn't win in the end, but they did cause untold suffering to a great many innocents.
This is the love story of Helen and Erik, as they struggle to be teachers in Amsterdam and rescue children who have been caught in the middle.
Highly recommend.

Helen Smit of Amsterdam Noord is just embarking on adulthood, attending Teacher's College of Amsterdam, that is until her country's government surrenders to Germany and changes come to the Netherlands. Erik Minger is a young man employed in a grocery store in which his family has invested. It appears that his future lies in business management, that is until the government began restricting where certain people groups are allowed to shop and do business. In Escape From Amsterdam we follow these two characters from 1939 into 1945, along with three children who come into their care, and those who love and support this special family.
Lauralee Bliss' writing style in Escape From Amsterdam is beautiful in its simplicity. It stays laser-focused on the need to remain steadfast in one's faith in God and in the work of Christ in spite of one's circumstances. Bliss clearly demonstrates showing greater love by laying down one's life for another, which at times may mean being willing to die for someone, but also may mean giving up the kind of life one hoped to live.
