Synopsis


From 1942 to 1944 I was what some called a Jew killer. Though, I have never hurt a soul, I was responsible for separating Jewish families, ensuring they would never see each other again. Those who were sick, were sent to their death ... by me because I was forced to follow the enemy. The war stole my right of beliefs, my goals for a future, my left arm, and the love of my life.
I saved Amelia …
… then I lost her.
And after more than seventy years, I’m told she’s alive and asking for me.
Will love be enough to overcome the silence of more than seven decades?

My Review

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 

Every once in a while, a reader gets a deep enough glimpse to anticipate a book's potential impact. Having read Amelia’s story in Last Words, I knew the story of one of the darkest times in our world's history from Charlie Crane's point of view would be devastating. Ryan shines a light on the atrocities of the Third Reich, humanizing those enslaved to its power, no matter their heritage or religion. 

Charlie Crane was twelve years old when he was sent to a “special school,” which was, in reality, the Führer’s Youth Camp. All because of his blonde hair and blue eyes, the trademark of the ‘superior race.” As if overnight, the rules changed, but Charlie couldn’t find it in himself to hate those different from him and never developed the gleeful bloodthirstiness of many of his comrades. 

That begins the story of a German soldier and a beautiful, young Jewish prisoner. They should have hated each other, but despite all odds and obstacles, they fell in love. Their journey is treacherous, harrowing and heartbreaking but inspiring, triumphant and gratifying. Creating beautiful descriptions, Ryan paints a vivid picture and breathes life into her words, so the reader experiences each scene as if she's an essential piece of the unfolding story. 

With poignant themes of soul mates, destiny and good triumphing over evil, Charlie and Amelia's story will make your soul weep and hold permanent residence in your heart. Definitely in my top five reads of a lifetime, you absolutely do not want to pass up the chance to read this powerful, profound, life-altering book.

Where's My Slingshot When I Need It?

Alternate title: The Itty Bitty Reader Takes On the Marketplace Monopoly Giant If you do any advance copy reading of books or are in any book groups or authors’ groups on Facebook, you’ve probably seen authors and readers alike discussing their reviews disappearing from Amazon recently. Not long ago, all my reviews were deleted by Amazon, and I'll share some suggestions on what to do, should you find yourself in this situation, and some tips on how to hopefully avoid it happening to you in the future. Sadly, Amazon’s review system, especially for books, isn’t perfect and there are certainly abuses to it, but reviews really are critical to both authors and readers.  For authors, the more reviews their book has, the more notice it gets, which translates to more sales.  For readers, reviews hopefully give us accurate information so we can decide if a book is worth our time and money or if we should just move along to the next one. I’ve been reading advance copies and re...

Image
Last Good Man (A Crown Creek Standalone) by Theresa Leigh (aka Vivian Lux) Synopsis: Cooper Grant is not my type.  Yes, he’s drool-worthy, with that glint in his blue eyes and the jaw-dropping way he fills out his jeans. Yes, other women might fall all over themselves for a glimpse of his slow, crooked smile. I’m not other women. ​ He hates me.
