Grounded in little-known historical detail, A Picture of Hope is a suspenseful story filled with intrigue, romance, and mystery. Liz Tolsma uses the gritty setting of Nazi-occupied France to weave a compassionate tale of hope that illuminates the true worth and dignity of every human. A novel that is sure to please!
—Heidi Chiavaroli, Carol award-winning author of Freedom’s Ring and The Orchard House

The stakes are high when children—labeled as undesirable by the Nazis—and those committed to getting them to safety are in danger of losing their lives. In A Picture of Hope, gifted author Liz Tolsma brings us a story of heart-pounding courage and heart-rendering compassion in this must-read novel for fans of inspirational WWII fiction. A truly compelling story that still lingers in my thoughts.
