Snow On The Tulips

by Liz Tolsma
Thomas Nelson Publishers

The Nazis still occupy part of the Netherlands, despite the fact that the war is almost over. Cornelia is a shadow her former self, and has come forth from the ashes a widow. Desperate to protect her brother, Johan, she is aghast when he brings home a Dutch Resistance member. Furious with her brother yet frightened by the implication of hiding Gerrit in her home; her faith  gives her no choice but to harbor the wounded fugitive.

As Gerrit recovers in Cornelia's home, she can't help admiring him for his passion and what he stands for. She wants to be more like him; bold and unafraid to proclaim the truth. She wishes she had the courage to stand up for what is right, no matter what the consequences. So when opportunity to become part of the Resistance with Gerrit becomes a reality, will she have the courage to become the person she's always wanted to be? Will she ever get to live free and unafraid of the price it will cost?

This novel opened up a whole new side of World War I to me. I saw things in a new light, from a fresh perspective, all masterfully done by Tolsma. While most of us may never experience the political struggle and danger that the characters in the story did, we all fear something - whether we admit it or not. Tolsma carefully takes her story and weaves a tale that will work its way into your sub-conscience and will become part of the way you will forever view this war of the past. The romance between Gerritt and Cornelia will make you ache for all the people that are separated because of circumstances, other people, or fate itself.
