Danger at Every Turn!
It is 1939 in Poland, and the Nazis have arrived. In 24 hours, Nadia goes from living the life of a rich aristocrat to seeing her father killed, and running for her life.
David, an American acquaintance of her father, helps her get to the city of Warsaw. Instead of that being a refuge, the Germans begin bombing the city multiple times day and night. While the couple try to flee to safety, they encounter even more danger. During their attempts to escape, they take over the care of three children who are orphaned from the bombing.
Everywhere they turn, they encounter more horrors from the invaders. Nadia and David try to convince the other people they meet to flee as well. The two face more threatening situations and roadblocks as they, along with a small band of adults and children, try to make it to freedom.
At one time, Nadia looked down on David because he was beneath her socially, but as they fight to stay alive, she finds all those divisions meaningless.
This inspiring and sobering tale includes talk of faith. Although this is fiction, it is based on real events that took place during the Nazi invasion of Poland. The story is clean, and you will feel like you are there witnessing everything. Be aware that one of the characters turns to drinking until drunk to cope. Fans of World War II accounts, and suspense will enjoy this well-written, five-star book.
