Chasing Shadows

By: Lynn Austin

Narrated by: Stina Nielsen

For fans of best-selling WWII fiction comes a powerful novel from Lynn Austin about three women whose lives are instantly changed when the Nazis invade the neutral Netherlands, forcing each into a complicated dance of choice and consequence.

Lena is a wife and mother who farms alongside her husband in the tranquil countryside. Her faith has always been her compass, but can she remain steadfast when the questions grow increasingly complex and the answers could mean the difference between life and death?

Lena’s daughter, Ans, has recently moved to the bustling city of Leiden, filled with romantic notions of a new job and a young Dutch police officer. But when she is drawn into Resistance work, her idealism collides with the dangerous reality that comes with fighting the enemy.

Miriam is a young Jewish violinist who immigrated for the safety she thought Holland would offer. She finds love in her new country, but as her family settles in Leiden, the events that follow will test them in ways she could never have imagined.

The Nazi invasion propels these women onto paths that cross in unexpected, sometimes-heartbreaking ways. Yet the story that unfolds illuminates the surprising endurance of the human spirit and the power of faith and love to carry us through.

Awesome !!!!

Loved this book. Narrator is the one of the best. Worth the credit. Lynn Austin's books never dissapoint.

The humanity and integrity most of the main characters clung to in spite of fear, danger and great challenge.

I liked it that the characters clung to hope in a very hopeless time. I also like how random circumstances brought varying levels of rescue.
May I be so courageous and hopeful in similarly trying times.

Amazing story!

This book was such a good reminder of what happened, not only to the Jews, but to the innocent people of the Netherlands during WW2. As my husband's grandfather was from the Netherlands, and lived through this time, even ending up in a prison camp for trying to feed the people in his village, it really touched me. Yes, this absolutely could happen again

Loved it

This book was excellent! I loved the storyline and the characters. I couldn’t stop listening.

Emotional

Straight truth. Both good and evil. Glory to God throughout. Lessons to be learned from this story.
