Snow on the Tulips by Liz Tolsma

Book Info

About the book: A stranger's life hangs in the balance. But to save him is to risk everything. The war is drawing to a close, but the Nazis still occupy part of the Netherlands. After the losses she's endured, war widow Cornelia is only a shadow of the woman she once was. She fights now to protect her younger brother, Johan, who lives in hiding. When Johan brings Gerrit Laninga, a wounded Dutch Resistance member, to Cornelia's doorstep, their lives are forever altered. Although scared of the consequences of harboring a wanted man, Cornelia's faith won't let her turn him out. As she nurses Gerrit back to health, she is drawn to his fierce passion and ideals, and notices a shift within herself. Gerrit's intensity challenges her, making her want to live fully, despite the fear that constrains her. When the opportunity to join him in the Resistance presents itself, Cornelia must summon every ounce of courage imaginable. She is as terrified of loving Gerrit as she is of losing him. But as the winter landscape thaws, so too does her heart. Will she get a second chance at true love? She fears their story will end before it even begins.

Add a dog and a cat to that mix and there's always something going on at their house. She's spent time teaching second grade, writing advertising for a real estate company, and working as a church secretary, but she always dreamed of becoming an author. She'd love to have you visit her at www.liztolsma.com.  My Take:  Have you ever wondered about how other people in other countries felt about the World Wars.  How they lived through the time when loved ones were going off to fight but others stayed home and fought the war on the home front.  This book looks at the Dutch resistance and you may just learn something while your reading this.  This book is exactly why I enjoy Historical Fiction because you are learning without really knowing you are and you are having fun while you are doing it.  The love story in this book is good also and will keep you turning the pages till the very end. I received a review copy of this book from Lit Fuse in exchange for my honest opinion.
