Waiting On Wednesday: Hidden Among the Stars

Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Breaking the Spine. 

Each week offers the opportunity to spotlight an up-and-coming release you are most excited about.

2018 is shaping up to be a year with some amazing books coming out! New to me authors, new series, continuation of series, and many others.

This week's feature is one of an author who is able to really capture the historical detail. I've read some of her more historical fiction, but not her WW2 settings. I'm very excited for this book! And can I say, look at that gorgeous cover!

Waiting On:

Title: Hidden Among the Stars
Author: Melanie Dobson
Publisher: Tyndale Publishers
Publication Date: September 2018

Synopsis:

From the award-winning author of Catching the Wind, which Publishers Weekly called “unforgettable” and a “must-read,” comes another gripping time-slip novel about hidden treasure, a castle, and ordinary people who resisted evil in their own extraordinary way.

The year is 1938, and as Hitler’s troops sweep into Vienna, Austrian Max Dornbach promises to help his Jewish friends hide their most valuable possessions from the Nazis, smuggling them to his family’s summer estate near the picturesque village of Hallstatt. He enlists the help of Annika Knopf, his childhood friend and the caretaker’s daughter, who is eager to help the man she’s loved her entire life. But when Max also brings Luzia Weiss, a young Jewish woman, to hide at the castle, it complicates Annika’s feelings and puts their entire plan―even their very lives―in jeopardy. Especially when the Nazis come to scour the estate and find both Luzia and the treasure gone.

Eighty years later, Callie Randall is mostly content with her quiet life, running a bookstore with her sister and reaching out into the world through her blog. Then she finds a cryptic list in an old edition of Bambi that connects her to Annika’s story . . . and maybe to the long-buried story of a dear friend. As she digs into the past, Callie must risk venturing outside the safe world she’s built for a chance at answers, adventure, and maybe even new love.
