“Every day in a life fills the whole life with expectation and memory.” C. S. Lewis
Annalise has so many memories that she wants to pass on. “For a while the anguished memories that so often disturbed her sleep left her alone while she dreamed of happier times.” She chooses to confide in Jenna, a young woman she met in the cemetery while she visits her beloved Rolf and Jenna visits her mother’s grave.
As she recounts her story to Jenna, Annalise is caught up in the memories of a wartime romance, WWII intrigue, and a grateful heart that God sent the right people into her life to show their faith at just the right time.
This story is full of danger, covert meetings, hidden identities, spy craft, a seemingly impossible romance and searching for meaning and how God provides in difficult situations. It is a powerfully written lesson in resilience and a growing faith in God amid trying conditions in wartime and its aftermath. “Not broken bits, they are delicate memories. Cherished memories.”
