A Photojournalist Risks Her Life to Save a Very Special Child Full of intrigue, adventure, and romance, this series celebrates the unsung heroes—the heroines of WWII. Journalist Nellie Wilkerson has spent the bulk of the war in London, photographing mothers standing in milk lines—and she’s bored. She jumps at the chance to go to France, where the Allied forces recently landed. There she enlists Jean-Paul Breslau of the French underground to take her to the frontlines. On the journey, they stumble upon a great tragedy, leaving a girl with special needs being orphaned. Can Nellie and Jean-Paul see the child to a safe haven while being pursued by the Nazis, who are pressed by the advancing Allies and determined to destroy all they can before they flee?

This was a great story. Full of intrigue and suspense. Nellie found ways to accomplish her dreams in the midst of turmoil and uncertainty. Jean-Paul was a true hero. Together, they made a great team!

I received this book from Celebrate-Lit for my honest review.

A Picture of Hope is an absolutely phenomenal story! A combination of historical fiction and suspense; A fictionalized story based on real events and real people.

The author paints vivid pictures with her words just as Nellie created created visual stories with her photographs. (cont) 3y
