Until Our Time Comes by Nicole M. Miller

 

American horse trainer Adia Kensington is living her dream of working at the famous Janów Podlaski stables in Poland, where they breed the best Arabian horses in the world. But her plans to bring the priceless stallion Lubor to the US are derailed when the German army storms into her adopted country in 1939. Little does she know this is just the beginning of six long years of occupation that will threaten her beloved horses at every turn.

Major Bret Conway is at Janów Podlaski under the guise of a news reporter, but his true mission is intelligence gathering for the British. That and keeping Adia safe, which is harder and harder to do as she insists they must evacuate 250 horses to save them from being stolen, sold, or eaten by the invading forces. What follows will test their physical, mental, and emotional strength, as well as their faith in God, humankind, and each other.

Drawn from true events of World War II, this epic story of escape, capture, resistance, and love from debut novelist Nicole M. Miller will thunder into your heart like a herd of beautiful horses across a raging river.

My Review

 I enjoyed this read, filled with danger, and yet, we see compassion, and sometimes from people you really don't expect it from.

The characters here live in the mine of the author, and we get to become friends and companions in our minds, and this takes place as the evil that was penetrating Europe at this horrible time in history. We journey to save the beautiful horses of Poland, Arabians, and the danger that is everywhere, and whom to trust.

Times were so full of danger, and the senseless lost of life, but this is a story of survival, or the want to keep the beautiful horses alive.

The author gives us danger, in many forms, and a scamp of a little boy, or should I say pick pocket, that we watch grow up, along with some very sweet romance.

This read did become a page turner me, as the years of the war and events happen, I wanted answers and to see whom survives!

I received this book through LibraryThing and the Publisher Revell, and was not required to give a positive review.
