Inspirational Historical Romance About a Blind Virtuoso Pianist
Set in World War II Europe
PAULA'S REVIEW:
What an absolutely hope-filled story about a blind heroine who proved that when she was tuned in with God, He helped her do the seemingly impossible.
In Song in the Dark by Kimberley Woodhouse, Chaisley is a concert pianist whose European tour takes her into the dangerous world of pre-WWII political unrest. She may be blind, but Chaisley fights evil the best way she can: by seeking out blind children and Jews fleeing death and offering them a way out.
Chaisley, Melanie, Rick, Celestia, and Dr. Grafton--although they held unusual roles--were realistic and showed compassion for the oppressed. Total reliance on God despite their fears, was a consistent theme.
The plot was interesting, bringing out facts that a lot of other WWII novels had not touched on. It conveyed the danger of the times in a convincing way. I appreciate that the author did extensive research that could not help but grieve her. But I believe this story needs to be told.
If you want an absorbing story with Godly values and a romance under unique circumstances, pick up this book!

Her music captivates crowds. His mission exposes secrets. Their courage defies a dictator.
Against the simmering backdrop of impending war, blind virtuoso pianist Chaisley Frappier embarks on a concert tour through a rapidly changing Europe. When she learns that Hitler's regime of injustice is targeting other disabled people, Chaisley realizes she is in a prime position to help those who are threatened reach safety. But the Führer's growing fascination with the celebrated musician endangers her undercover mission and forces her to walk a tightrope between her fame and her calling.
When Rick Zimmerman receives his next assignment from the British Secret Intelligence Service, he is surprised to learn he'll be acting as the personal driver of a world-renowned pianist as she tours Europe. The role gives him the perfect cover to complete missions of sabotage and intelligence-gathering, but he soon suspects the brilliant, alluring pianist has secrets of her own. As Chaisley and Rick confront evil at every turn, it will take every bit of faith and courage they possess to triumph over hate--and survive.
