      Listeners follow three strong women whose stories intertwine and impact each other in the most extraordinary ways amid the backdrops of WWII Holland and modern-day Amsterdam, Uganda, and the U.S. Nancy Peterson gives a stand-out performance as she brings the wide cast of characters alive, drawing out the strong emotions in the story. In particular, Peterson's believable Dutch accent helps to set the scene, and her skilled characterizations ensure that listeners will follow the plot as it weaves between the past and present. The result is an emotionally charged and engaging listen that will linger in the mind. K.J.P. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine
