Escape from Amsterdam by Lauralee Bliss is the latest novel in Barbour’s popular Heroines of World War II series.
I was honored to write an endorsement for Lauralee’s fantastic story.
Imagine living in German-occupied Holland during the Second World War, struggling to maintain a semblance of normalcy during a surreal time, and facing the unimaginable—children are murdered because of their heritage. The courageous characters in Escape from Amsterdam join real-life heroes to hide and protect the “least of these.” Lauralee Bliss combines historical events with strong spiritual truths in a riveting novel that WWII fans are sure to love.
Lauralee is giving away an autographed print edition of her novel, and the winner can live anywhere!
The Story
Helen Smit believed she was called by God to become a teacher. Little does she know that her care for kids will take a drastic turn for survival when the Germans occupy Amsterdam and Jewish children and parents begin to be deported. Now all she can think of is helping all the kids escape before it’s too late.
Erik Misman’s newfound love for Helen is tested when he joins a plot to help move Jewish children to a safe place in the countryside. If danger can foster a closer bond with Helen and save the lives of the little ones, he will do it all. But a German patrol that stumbles upon the farm where they are hiding with three children and a soldier who takes an unexpected interest in Helen, could well destroy their plans for safety and love.

Hi, Clella! So fun to see your lovely smile. Miss you!
Thanks for being a part!
Sheesh, I guess a book or a computer!! I’m always reading, whether an ARC, one I’m proofing/editing, or just because!
Trudy, that sounds like a great answer to me. I know you are a prolific reader!
A bottle of medicine. I have had many surgeries and illnesses and God is always faithful.
We love our readers!
Rose?
Aw! I love that answer! I especially love the old-fashioned fragrant roses, don’t you?
Fun fact, that’s my middle name!
Thank you so much for sharing. God bless you.
You’re very welcome! Thanks for participating!
Thank you!
I’d choose a blue rose since blue roses have been special to me for many decades.
I’m guessing blue roses are also rare ~ not sure I’ve ever seen one. Thanks for popping in!
I actually had a blue rosebush once. 🙂
The best symbol to represent me is a smile, I think. 😊 Thanks for the giveaway!
A smile is worth 1000 words!
The best symbol to represent me is a hummingbird. They hold a special place in my heart.
Love hummingbirds!
A Purple Butterfly, I struggle daily with Systematic Lupus and 5 other autoimmune diseases and disorders. The Purple Butterfly is the symbol for Lupus.
On a different note, I would love to win this book (can’t afford it otherwise,) I am of Dutch Heritage and both my ,Oma and Opa and my husbands Grandparents hid Jews during the war.
Thank you for sharing. God bless.
Thank you so much for this wonderful opportunity.
Thank you!
I guess my symbol would be a family. I’m all about family!
Thanks for the chance to win. I love historical fiction.
Family is SO important!
I would choose a heart because I am all heart when it comes to helping others
Thank you for your giving heart!
A butterfly! New life, new hope only found in Jesus Christ. He gave me that. Thankful!!
Amen!
If I had to pick a symbol that represented me, I would pick a star because I try to be a light.
Star light, star bright! Lovely
I’d have to say either a book or a craft project, because both are what I love to do to relax!
I’ve done cross stitch in the past, sadly my eyes aren’t very good right now.
I would take a dove as my symbol. It is a sign of peace and hope, something I struggle with but strive to walk a more calming life.
Beautiful!
I think I would pick a book for my symbol as reading is one of my favorite things to do. Thank you for the chance to ‘Escape to Amsterdam’! It sounds like a fascinating story! 🙂
Thank you!
Golly…a smiley face? I am always smiling!
I love a smile, it’s infectious.
