My Thoughts About the Book:

 
Breathtakingly haunting…this book is truly something special. Drawn into two separate storylines all following a beautiful painting that was painted in the midst of the horror and agony of Auschwitz. There was a palpable push and pull dynamic throughout the book and it left you completely captivated at times. It was as if you were able to jump into the author’s imagination and watch this beautiful story come to life. 
 
Kristy Cambron has a real gift and I can not wait to see what other adventures she writes in the future. If you love art, history or just a well written story, then this book is for you.
 

About the book: 

A mysterious painting breathes hope and beauty into the darkest corners of Auschwitz—and the loneliest hearts of Manhattan.
Manhattan art dealer Sera James watched her world crumble at the altar two years ago, and her heart is still fragile. Her desire for distraction reignites a passion for a mysterious portrait she first saw as a young girl—a painting of a young violinist with piercing blue eyes.
In her search for the painting, Sera crosses paths with William Hanover, the grandson of a wealthy California real estate mogul, who may be the key to uncovering the hidden masterpiece. Together, Sera and William slowly unravel the story behind the painting’s subject: Austrian violinist Adele Von Bron.
A darling of the Austrian aristocracy, talented violinist, and daughter to a high-ranking member of the Third Reich, Adele risks everything when she begins smuggling Jews out of Vienna. In a heartbeat, her life of prosperity and privilege dissolves into a world of starvation and barbed wire.
As Sera untangles the secrets behind the painting, she finds beauty in the most unlikely of places: in the grim camps of Auschwitz and in the inner recesses of her own troubled heart.
