I was impressed by how the author
seamlessly worked the dialogue into the story. The book was based on historical
events about the Nazis' attempt to take over Hollywood in the 1930s.
The author
brought the characters to life with personal backstories and natural conflicts
of what it meant to be German versus Jewish in the 1930s and the courage that
it took to stand up to a tyrant regardless of it being unpopular in your
community.
I learned about an aspect of our history that I was
unaware of and how the bravery of the few thwarted the diabolical plot of one
Adolph Hitler and his goons.
“What I am looking for―what I desperately need, Mrs. Weiss―is a spy.”
Adolf Hitler is still a distant rumble on the horizon, but a Jewish spymaster and his courageous spies uncover a storm of Nazi terror in their own backyard.
In the summer of 1933, a man named Adolf Hitler is the new and powerful anti-Semitic chancellor of Germany. But in Los Angeles, no-nonsense secretary Liesl Weiss has concerns much closer to home. The Great Depression is tightening its grip and Liesl is the sole supporter of two children, an opinionated mother, and a troubled brother.

Karen Hancock does a masterful job of taking readers on an
adventure in a faraway world but with moral lessons for the here and now.
This
book represents a quintessential battle of good versus evil and offers a vivid
warning about what happens when we follow our own devices instead of walking by
faith.
The book delves even deeper and explores what it means to live a peaceful,
purposeful, and meaningful life.
