A fast-paced World War II historical novel based on the true story of holocaust survivors

This historical novel, based on a true story, brings World War Two to a new level of reality and a descriptive intensity that will leave the reader spellbound. It brings to life the dramatic experiences of a woman caught between a ruthless government and the will to survive with her children during the last six months of World War 2 in Nazi Germany as she flees the incoming Russian front in the East and right into the carpet bombing in the West. This book brings this war down to a human level in a way that will leave the reader with a stunning new perspective never told in America and represents the missing link in the historical annals of this time. A sequel called WEST WIND is being written at this time and deals with the chaotic aftermath of the collapse of the Third Reich and the survival of Elisabeth, her four children and Helga, the maid. It also describes her husband's experiences in an American prison camp in the south of France.

Quote by Elisabeth Wendell, Professor of American Literature, University of Duesseldorf, Germany:

“Barbara Martin is a very talented story teller and has captured a dark period of German history during the holocaust with sincere honesty and deep understanding for the people caught up in it. The book makes for great reading enjoyment!” 20th Century Military Modern Wars & Conflicts World War II Survival Holocaust War

It is a good story but could have been excellent without AI narration... was flat, and intonations were done incorrectly... words are recited as lists of words, not sentences...specific words to this "particular story" were lost bc the robot could not say them and so part of the story is lost

AI reading should stop and never come back...authors deserve better !!! why isnt it illegal?

pitiful pronunciation of very basic words

The story of the actual people and how there lives helped everyone. How the family survived.

The family.

The details of how two women and 4 children crossed westward through Europe during WWII was very inspiring and heartfelt. Having Jewish ancestors who didn't survive the Holocaust, hearing this book helps me understand those who lived in Eastern Europe.
I loved the book and would readily buy another one written by Barbara.
