For fans of bestselling WWII fiction comes a powerful novel from Lynn Austin about three women whose lives are instantly changed when the Nazis invade the neutral Netherlands, forcing each into a complicated dance of choice and consequence. Lena is a wife and mother who farms alongside her husband in the tranquil countryside. Her faith has always been her compass, but can she remain steadfast when the questions grow increasingly complex and the answers could mean the difference between life and death? Lenas daughter Ans has recently moved to the bustling city of Leiden, filled with romantic notions of a new job and a young Dutch police officer. But when she is drawn into Resistance work, her idealism collides with the dangerous reality that comes with fighting the enemy. Miriam is a young Jewish violinist who immigrated for the safety she thought Holland would offer. She finds love in her new country, but as her family settles in Leiden, the events that follow will test them in ways she could never have imagined. The Nazi invasion propels these women onto paths that cross in unexpected, sometimes-heartbreaking ways. Yet the story that unfolds illuminates the surprising endurance of the human spirit and the power of faith and love to carry us through.

When I was a teenager, my mom told me that I walked around with a cloud over my head. She had no idea the truth in her statement, neither did she know the heavy weight of that dark cloud. The cloud cast deep shadows over every area of my life. Hiding in those shadows were sinister companions that would stalk me for years. This book, Companions on My Journey, is an attempt to share my messy journey through the darkness into the marvelous light of God's love and grace. At the cross I found healing and peace, freedom, and restoration. I pray that my Heavenly Father will use my story to guide the hurting, the rejected, the abused, and the condemned into the miraculous light of his unfathomable love. Please take my hand and journey with me.

Best known as the founder of the Sisters of Mercy, Catherine McAuley's original intention was simply "to make some lasting efforts for the relief of the suffering and instruction of the ignorant." Practical and creative, Mother McAuley began an employment agency for young women, a commercial laundry, an adult education program, a school, and a small shop to sell the handiwork of young women associated with her House of Mercy. Perhaps her greatest contribution to the church, however, is the spirituality that enlivened her mission of mercy -- a fresh and fertile blending of the contemplative spirit and the compassionate heart.
