For Such a Time

De: Kate Breslin

Narrado por: Emily Durante

In 1944, blonde and blue-eyed Jewess Hadassah Benjamin feels abandoned by God when she is saved from a firing squad only to be handed over to a new enemy. Pressed into service by SS Kommandant Colonel Aric von Schmidt at the transit camp of Theresienstadt in Czechoslovakia, she is able to hide behind the false identity of Stella Muller. However, in order to survive and maintain her cover as Aric's secretary, she is forced to stand by as her own people are sent to Auschwitz. Suspecting that her employer is a man of hidden depths and sympathies, Stella cautiously appeals to him on behalf of those in the camp. Aric's compassion gives her hope, and she finds herself battling a growing attraction for this man she knows she should despise as an enemy.

Stella pours herself into her efforts to keep even some of the camp's prisoners safe, but she risks the revelation of her true identity with every attempt. When her bravery brings her to the point of the ultimate sacrifice, she has only her faith to lean upon. Perhaps God has placed her there for such a time as this, but how can she save her people when she is unable to save herself?

Reseñas de la Crítica

"The atrocities of Nazi Germany come alive in this heart-rending tale of love, loss, and redemption." ( Library Journal)

Best book ever!

Wow what a great book! You won’t be sorry! Enjoy! Wish there was a book 2!

For Such a Time

A riveting story. The style left a cliffhanger at the end of each chapter. Truly a surprise ending. I don't know which was the happiest moment, Captain Hermann's death or the surprise ending. My God given path of Guardian makes me lean toward Hermann's death, yet I am torn between the two. Kate is a classmate of mine and I love her work dearly.

Loved this Book!

From beginning to end this incredible story kept my interest! It is a mystery as to why a German commander falls in love with a blonde Jewish woman -He thinks she’s not Jewish-as the story unfolds with many twists and turns evolve in this beautiful love story.

A must read!

I loved everything about this book! I was riveting to the very end. Saving to my favorites!

Awesome Book

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! The author did a great job. The performance was top notch.
I highly recommend it.

this would make a fabulous movie!

this was the kind of book you can't put down and I've done almost 300 audible books! fabulous character development, great action and great lessons. The narration was fabulous. I can't say enough good things about this book

Great story, well narrated, with twists and turns of scheming, betrayal and triumph

and ultimately the mercy and provision of a loving Father in heaven. Well narrated and keeps you listening all the way to the satisfying end.

Great Book

Absolutely beautifully written!!! The only disappointment in this book is that it ended! Thank you!

Esther

I loved how the Book of Esther was woven in and out of this story. The story was beautifully done and the narrator was excellent.

Historical fiction of hope and love.

This WWII fictional story is well told, though a bit too predictable for my taste—nazi soldier meets Jewish beauty. The modern retelling of the story of Esther is interesting. If you enjoy historical fiction with a happy ending and reminders about what really matters in life, you will like this book, as I did.
