The Nurse Behind the Gates (by Shari J. Ryan)

Historical fiction books are one of my favorite genres to read. And when they are set during WWII, I am always a huge fan. And I typically enjoy books from various time periods. However, the way this book covered the different times did not flow as smoothly and coherently as it could have. I did enjoy getting to know the characters ... Emilie, Danner, Otto, Felix, and Gertie. This is an emotional read and experiencing Emilie’s ability to deal with the difficult situations in which she found herself was inspiring. The theme of love and hope and the precious gift of friendship is woven throughout the pages.
