All My Love Detrick Series, Book 2

De: Roberta Kagan

Narrado por: Juliet Jones

A child’s innocence is the purest of all.

In Nazi Germany, Helga Haswell is at a crossroads. She’s become pregnant by a married SS officer, who has since abandoned her. Left alone with the thought of raising a fatherless child, she has nowhere to turn - until the Lebensborn steps in. They will take Helga’s child when it’s born and raise it as their own. Helga will now be free to live her life.

But when Helga has second thoughts, it’s already too late. The papers were signed, and her claim to her child was revoked. Her daughter belongs to Hitler now. And when Hitler’s delusions of grandeur rapidly accelerate, Germany becomes involved in a two-front war against the heroic West and the fearless Russians.

Helga’s child seems doomed to a life raised by the cruelest humans on Earth. But God’s plan for her sends the young girl to the most unexpected people. And in their warm embrace, she’s given the chance for love in a world full of hate.

You Are My Sunshine is the heartfelt story of second chances. Helga Haswell may be tied to an unthinkable past, but her young daughter...has the chance at a brighter day.

Fabulous story, dreadful narration

Really good story! My problem was listening to a New Zealander (no shade on them!) tell the story. If I hear "YEEEES" for "yes" one more time, I'm going to be putting this book down. This author is an excellent writer, but the powers-that-be are not choosing good narrators!

Beautiful narration and story of a difficult topic

It’s hard to say one “enjoys” a book about Nazi Germany and the Holocaust, but this book did offer a unique perspective on events through the eyes of the characters. Juliet Jones melodic narration was paced perfectly and kept the flow of the book moving. Roberta Kagan’s story really captured me by the unique propaganda office storyline.

Entrancing

Another wonderful story from this author. Loved the narrator. Can't wait to listen to another one!

Powerful, emotional story ith vivid characters brought to life

Prepare yourself to be brought into a potent world of reality, distress, connection, and hope. This book is special. The reader is carried through the lived experiences of its characters, enduring with them seismic oppression and struggle. You will feel with them, as you should... the narration is thoughtful, spot-on, firm in spots, tender in spots, all well-placed. It's a storied journey worth taking.

Great Historical Fiction

A great historical fiction about the Holocaust and World War ll. It was an amazing story, about the dark side for both the victims and the Nazi’s. The characters were real and a story well written. A book that I will read over and over again.
