About this author

Cara C. Putman lives in Indiana with her husband and four children. She’s an attorney and a teacher at her church as well as lecturer at Purdue. She has loved reading and writing from a young age and now realizes it was all training for writing books. She loves bringing history and romance to life.

An honors graduate of the University of Nebraska and George Mason University School of Law, Cara left small town Nebraska and headed to Washington, D.C., to launch her career in public policy.

Cara is an author chasing hard after God as she lives a crazy life. She invites you to join her on that journey. Her 12th to 14th novels release this spring. Please check out her website to learn more about her books and read first chapters.

While this isn't Christian fiction, I loved this book! The author does a great job weaving back and forth between the story of a mother in Germany in the years 1900-1945 and current times. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and hated to see it end!
