What I Left For You (Echoes of the Past Volume 3) by Liz Tolsma

 

A Family’s Ties Were Broken in Poland of 1939

Deeply heartfelt story from WW2 with timeslip to 2023, Great-great Grandmother to Great-great Granddaughter of Lemko/Rusyns heritage.

You can feel through them their strength - and hope - through the tears. The Polish people had been taken over or relocated many times over the years - they seem to have been regarded as a lesser race. Who can understand the need for Ethnic Cleansing? To wipe out a nationality of people? Or the sheer cruelty of starvation, no sanitation, separation of families, taking their means of living and property? Even the little things that mean something to them of love and family. It more than breaks your heart. Today we have the means to stay in touch or research people and areas so much easier. It also shows us the resilience and perseverance that allow a person and a people to survive and leave descendants to carry on a family line. Very interesting and informative, profoundly moving - it should be a classic. You leave a piece of your heart with the characters.

Someone Like You Movie by Karen Kingsbury

 

Get lost in the story! Another amazing movie that you'll be glad to see (rated PG). Very emotional all the way through. Heartbreaking and hopeful, a celebration of life and the connections that we have with one another. 

Very well made, seamless, acted so believingly real. Excellent messages, hope and love. Your heart will definitely be torn in two and it will also melt. If you've read other books written by Karen, you won't be surprised that it's so well written and carries such a deep message of love.

Whose Waves These Are by Amanda Dykes

"So many stories. In this pocket of a harbor where broken lives, like waves upon the shore, are gathered up and held close."

Set in Maine starting before WW2, on the coast, in the uppermost corner, near Canada. A rugged, weather worn area of strong people. This is a story that grabs you right in the first few lines, and gives you a perfect image and feeling of what is to follow. Layer upon layer of beautiful life, heartbreak and again beauty. Such depth of feeling. Weaving through time - back and forth together. Perfectly woven. A story so richly told that you can almost see God's hand around them. Christian Historical.
