Excited to share this story with you!
Olivia Garza, a woman committed to making a difference in the world, thrives in her unconventional, service-oriented life. By day, she helps troubled teens in inner-city Little Rock. By night, she creates a viral docu-series in an attempt to better understand her mother’s desperate decisions by retracing her steps with a camera. So far, Olivia has always been the anonymous narrator, but she’s promised to reveal herself in the last stop on her Kenya.
Prince Louis, heir to the throne of the small European kingdom of Alloria, is in Kenya to run away from a broken heart—and the media circus that comes with it. When he meets Olivia, he recognizes her voice right away from the docu-series that has stirred his heart. Though they share a magical day on safari, any dreams of happily ever after come crashing down with the flash of the paparazzi cameras when Olivia realizes that he represents everything she most despises in the world.
In World War II Rome, another royal, however, has her own life-changing choices to make. Princess Alessandra Appiani could have chosen quiet safety within the walls of the Vatican, but instead she risks her life—and her family—to save the Jewish children so in need of someone to show them the love of God.
When Olivia is hired to help create a documentary about Alessandra, learning about the sacrifice of a royal who goes from palace to prison forces her to face the hardest questions of Should she continue on the path she’s carved for herself or trust God to give her the future she never thought she wanted?
My Review
This story started off slow but soon caught my interest. I liked how the story gave pieces of Alessandra’s story while creating an engaging story about Olivia. Olivia was a fascinating person to get to know. I felt like I was a part of her life and couldn’t wait to see what happened. I liked how Tricia Goyer weaved both stories that seemed separate but connected in a way I didn’t expect. I liked the bibical truths she presented in this story.
I listened to some of the book on audio. The narrator was pleasant to listen to and I could understand her well. It helped bring the story to life.
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from the publisher. All views expressed are only my honest opinion.
I recommend this book to my family and friends.
