A stunning sequel to the WWII historical fiction bestseller Miracle Across the Sound, A Promise Broken A Promise Kept is inspired by real-life heroes of the Alyiah Beit and the Exodus 1947.

World War II ended eighteen long months ago and still, a quarter of a million Jewish Holocaust survivors are being warehoused in Displaced Persons Camps throughout Europe and Cyprus. Disregarding the 1917 Balfour Declaration, the British mandate government is restricting Jewish immigration to 10,000 Jews per year.

Flemming Lund, disgusted by the miserly quotas, is horrified to learn that every Jew seeking asylum in Denmark between 1935 to 1945 was deported to Berlin, and that thousands of Danish dignitaries were card-carrying Nazis.

The newspaper Flem writes for offers him an opportunity as their foreign correspondent in Palestine. He accepts and is later procured by the Hagenah to document their mission: smuggle over 4000 Jews into Palestine.

Aboard a decrepit U.S. steamship renamed Exodus 1947, the journey that follows will make history.

“Behold, the days are coming,” declares Adonai, “when I will return My people Israel and Judah from exile…I will bring them back to the land I gave to their fathers, and they will possess it.” Jeremiah 30:3
