Until Our Time Comes: A Novel of World War II Poland by Nicole M. Miller

Until Our Time Comes
ABOUT THE BOOK

American horse trainer Adia Kensington is living her dream of working at the famous Janów Podlaski stables in Poland, where they breed the best Arabian horses in the world. But her plans to bring the priceless stallion Lubor to the US are derailed when the German army storms into her adopted country in 1939. Little does she know this is just the beginning of six long years of occupation that will threaten her beloved horses at every turn.

Major Bret Conway is at Janów Podlaski under the guise of a news reporter, but his true mission is intelligence gathering for the British. That and keeping Adia safe, which is harder and harder to do as she insists they must evacuate 250 horses to save them from being stolen, sold, or eaten by the invading forces. What follows will test their physical, mental, and emotional strength, as well as their faith in God, humankind, and each other.

Drawn from true events of World War II, this epic story of escape, capture, resistance, and love from debut novelist Nicole M. Miller will thunder into your heart like a herd of beautiful horses across a raging river.



MY THOUGHTS.....


History was one of my favorite subjects in school so it's no surprise that historical fiction is now one of my preferred genres! This new book is set during WWII, one of my favorite eras, but I wasn't familiar with the efforts to save the Arabian horses that were in danger of being destroyed after the German invasion of Poland. Author Nicole M. Miller weaves facts with fiction and the result is a breathtaking adventure that kept me completely mesmerized. Adia Kensington was passionate about saving those precious horses and Bret Conway was just as determined to gather intelligence for the British. I adored the protective love that Aida had for a young Polish orphan named Ewan and I was captivated by her unlikely friendship with Bret. Watching their relationship grow and deepen was swoon-worthy romance at its best!

This amazing story spans seven years and it reminds us that World War II was a time when ordinary citizens became extraordinary heroes, danger was ever present, and tremendous sacrifices were the norm. Until Our Times Comes is a wonderful read for horse lovers, history lovers, and lovers of romance. It's a remarkable debut novel and I look forward to seeing what this author shares in the future!
