I was hooked in the first chapter. Set in the early 1940s before and during Hitler’s reign of terror, this is a totally engulfing story. It starts out with a pampered wealthy family’s daughter traveling through England for their art gallery. She sees a soldier defending an orphan boy, a Jew about to board an orphan train, when his violin is being taken away from him. The soldier suggests that if the violin belongs to him, then he will be able to play it. The boy plays beautifully, and the soldier stands by until he knows the boy is safely on the train with the violin. It brings Alison and Ian together, and it’s ‘love at first sight’. Only she holds back because of her family’s ‘curse’. This is a story of the excruciating ups and downs during war time of pain, love and sacrifice. It’s impossible to put down! I do so hope that there will be a second book that will continue the story. Disclosure of Material Connection: I received this book free from the Tyndale Publishers - Netgalley book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255 “Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising”. http://www.access.gpo.gov/nara/cfr/waisidx_03/16cfr255_03.html

Saturday, April 2, 2016 Where Treasure Hides by Johnnie Alexander, © 2013 World War, 1939-1945 She felt a kinship with the embroiderer, the mysterious need to preserve a slice of time before it flowed into the mists of memory. "I had to capture the moment." --Where Treasure Hides, 13 1939 ~ London A strain of music drew her at the train station ~ "Rule, Britannia!" the young holder of the violin played with his heartstrings. That Alison Schuyler should be there at the moment Lt. Ian Devlin watched out for young Josef Talbert, Kindertransport identity #127. Alison missed her connection and her heart that day, as Lt. Devlin invites her to tea and memories. A soldier on the eve of war. A chance meeting at Waterloo Station. Parting, her thoughts from the train window: "You're safe now, Ian Devlin," she whispered. "I've left you, and now you're safe." Can a day change your life? Ian Devlin hopes it is so. An image to take to war hoping they will meet again. A story of hiding irreplaceable art. Alison lives with her grandfather in Holland. He owns an art gallery. Believing that anyone who touches their family comes to ruin, she tries to guard her heart against the memory of Ian. England declares war on Germany and Ian is recalled to duty. I would like to read an additional continued story. Very deftly written amid their unknown days. Thank you to Tyndale for a review copy. This review was written in my own words. No other compensation was received.
