A Song in the Dark

 

Description:

Against the simmering backdrop of the impending WWII, blind virtuoso pianist Chaisley Frappier embarks on a concert tour through a rapidly changing Europe despite the dangers. When she learns that Hitler's escalating regime of injustice is targeting other disabled people, Chaisley realizes she is in a prime position to help those who are threatened reach safety. But the Führer's growing fascination with the celebrated musician endangers her undercover mission and forces her to walk a tightrope between her fame and her calling.

When Rick Zimmerman receives his next assignment from the British Secret Intelligence Service, he's surprised to learn he'll be acting as the personal driver of a world-renowned pianist as she traverses Europe. The role gives him the perfect cover to complete side missions of sabotage and intelligence-gathering, but he soon suspects the brilliant, alluring pianist has secrets of her own. As Chaisley and Rick confront evil at every turn, it will take every bit of faith and courage they possess to triumph over hate--and survive.

Review: 

Chaisley Frappier is a blind piano virtuoso who is world reknown for her ability to perform beautifully. With the world events happening as Hitler rises to power, she is torn whether to reveal her condition or keep it a secret. As she chooses to tell the world what happened, she runs the risk of being deemed inferior and therefore not necessary to a society that Hitler is creating. I loved how she chose to stand strong in her faith and stand up for what was right. Her grandmother was very influential in her life and showed her what kindness and compassion can do, one person at a time.

Rick Zimmermann becomes an integral part of Chaisley’s life. First, as an undercover SIS agent posing as her “chauffeur” and later as her protector. As he reveals his role to Chaisley and her guide Melanie, they join together to help people escape the atrocities that are occurring. The codes they created to communicate to others in the network were ingenious.

Things to look forward to:
faith
overcoming fear
fighting evil
danger
self- sacrifice

A favorite quote: “Fear will want to be our constant companion in the coming days, but we the Lord. Remind yourself that fear is not from him. Trust in that and in God.”

I recommend this if you enjoy historical romance, WWII settings, and a book where characters’ faith is evident.

I received a complimentary copy of the book with no obligation to write a positive review. All opinions are my own.
