Title of Book: From Dust and Ashes Click on title in order to purchase your copy or view product details. By Tricia Goyer I’m writing this review on January 27, 2005. This date marks the 60th anniversary since the liberation of the Auschwitz death camp. Through finely sketched characters and attention to detail, From Dust and Ashes transported this reader back to 1945; the year liberation came to Germany’s largest concentration camp as well as the year the story begins. From Dust and Ashes centers around three primary characters: Helene, the wife of an SS guard; Peter, an American soldier; and Michaela, a concentration camp survivor. Abandoned by her husband, and overcome by guilt, Helene is compelled to help meet the needs of the newly liberated survivors. To provide comfortable shelter and healing, Helene takes Michaela and a young girl home with her. Helene and Michaela experience forgiveness, compassion, and courage in the home of Helene’s father. Yet danger continues to threaten them. Arno, Helene’s husband’s fellow conspirator, is intent on recovering a treasure he is certain only Helene can lead him to. Readers will find themselves immersed in this story of compassion and courage. Tricia Goyer’s skill at making history come alive makes From Dust and Ashes a definite Sleep Robber. I couldn’t put this book down. |
