A MOTHER'S PROMISE
by Rachel Wesson
Is there ever anything worse for a loving mother to give her children away? Trudi Beck finds out how terrible it really is, after months of trying to keep her 3 children safe, she secures a seat for them on a Kindertransport train. Trudi convinces her youngest stepson, Tomas, that she will be coming as soon as she can. Her older stepson Heinz doesn't like her at all, but he must take her baby Lisle, and young Tomas on the train.
I am privileged to have been able to read and review #WhensMummyComing before reading #AMothersPromise. The two books run at a dual timeline, A Mother's Promise is more about what happened with Trudi and Heinz who's changed his name to Harry is taken from his foster mother in Devon, England to an internment camp on the Isle of Man, simply because he is German. It doesn't matter that he's a German Jew who has barely escaped Germany with his life. He soon joins the English Pioneer Corps to get away from the camp. All he wants to do is fight the Germans and find the man who killed his father Ari.
Trudi and Harry eventually end up in Resistance-type roles, fighting from different angles to save innocent Jews and to punish the Germans responsible.
There were several times that I was moved by their actions. Trudi had to act in ways that were offensive to her, just to get information or supplies to help the victims. Harry had to act like a German prisoner of war to get information that the English needed in order to prosecute the guilty parties.
All along, Trudi wanted to be able to get back to England to be with her 3 children, although it seemed impossible.
I'd highly recommend this book and series to anyone who is interested in World War II (WW2). I will read both of these books over and over.
