Whispering Hope

By Cindy Kay Stewart

Description:

She came to France to tell the truth. She stayed to fight for it.

In the shadow of Vichy France, American journalist Eva Edwards refuses to stay silent while the Nazi occupation tightens its grip and French collaborators betray their own people. Determined to report the truth to a world that desperately needs it, Eva steps into the dangerous underworld of wartime resistance—gathering intelligence for the Allies and helping soldiers find their way to freedom. But every story she chases and every soldier she shelters brings her one step closer to arrest, interrogation, and the unspeakable horrors of a Nazi prison.

Then there's Joseph Miller — the quiet, fiercely dedicated organizer at the heart of the escape network. Clever, intense, and haunted by the weight of the lives he carries, Joseph is the last man Eva should fall for. Emotion is dangerous. Attachment is a weakness their enemies will exploit. Yet as they each fight to defeat the evil plaguing Europe, something undeniable grows between them — a connection forged in danger and deepened in stolen, breathless moments.

With Nazi forces tightening their stranglehold on France and the Gestapo inching ever closer, Eva and Joseph must navigate impossible choices. To speak the truth. To save lives. To protect each other. And to dare — against every odd — to hope.

Why the author wrote this book:

I love to share stories about true events from history. The Lord intervened in so many miraculous ways during WWII, and I enjoy finding and bringing those stories to life through fiction. Sharing the hope found in Christ is central to my writing. I also can't resist weaving a good romance into the mix.
