About the book:
A Sparrow in Terezin (Thomas Nelson, April 2015)

Bound together across time, two women will discover a powerful connection through one survivor's story of hope in the darkest days of a war-torn world.

Present Day---With the grand opening of her new art gallery and a fairytale wedding just around the corner, Sera James feels she's stumbled into a charmed life---until a brutal legal battle against fiancé William Hanover threatens to destroy the perfectly planned future she's planned before it even begins. Now, after an eleventh-hour wedding ceremony and a callous arrest, William faces a decade in prison for a crime he never committed, and Sera must battle the scathing accusations that threaten her family and any hope for a future.

1942---Kája Makovsky narrowly escaped occupied Prague in 1939, and was forced to leave her half-Jewish family behind. Now a reporter for the Daily Telegraph in England, Kája discovers the terror has followed her across the Channel in the shadowy form of the London Blitz. When she learns Jews are being exterminated by the thousands on the continent, Kája has no choice but to return to her mother city, risking her life to smuggle her family to freedom and peace.

Connecting across a century through one little girl, a Holocaust survivor with a foot in each world, these two women will discover a kinship that springs even in the darkest of times. In this tale of hope and survival, Sera and Kája must cling to the faith that sustains and fight to protect all they hold dear---even if it means placing their own futures on the line.

My Review:
I loved this book, it is so wonderfully written!  Kristy has such a gift for writing as she is able to seamlessly go back and forth between two different time periods and different characters and brings both worlds to life.  "A Sparrow in Terezin" is a continuation of Sera James' story and another Hidden Masterpiece novel.   Sera is newly married, but is not living a typical newlywed life.  Kaja has had to escape from her home and leave family behind, only to have the terror show up where she is as well.  As these two women face unimaginable trials, they have to learn to have faith and fine strength.  Kristy does an amazing job with bringing historical details to life and connecting two women across decades. The fear and other emotions are  so real and I found myself completely lost in the characters' lives and completely immersed in their worlds.  I have loved both of Kristy's books and am looking forward to reading more!
