⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "A very engaging and emotional book, and I cannot wait for the next book in this series." –Netgalley Review
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "These characters are so strong. I couldn't imagine being in their position . . . gives you a lot of insight as to how difficult it was living under the Nazi's reign." –Netgalley Review
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "The twists and turns in Gilde's rescued life . . . are heartbreaking despite some of the good that transpires . . . yet another 5-star . . . historical fiction." –Netgalley Review
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "This was a hard read, but so important to talk about. One thing I appreciate about Kagan's work is she doesn’t shy away from depicting the brutal realities of war and the Holocaust, but she also infuses the story with moments of hope and humanity. Watch Over My Child is not an easy read emotionally, but it is a necessary one." –Netgalley Review
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Another work of art. The three books I have read so far in the Michal's Destiny series have been engrossing, disturbing and full of evil and good. Characters are believable, situations could easily be factual, and the fact that each Jew managed to get through so much is awe inspiring and a tribute to human perseverance and hope. I totally enjoy Roberta Kagan's works, and am looking forward to the last book in this series!" –GoodReads Review
After her parents are arrested by the Nazis on Kristallnacht, twelve-year-old Gilde Margolis is sent away from her home, her sister Alina, and everyone she knows and loves. Alone and afraid, Gilde boards a train on the Kindertransport bound for London, where she will stay with strangers.
Over the next seven years, as Gilde comes of age in a foreign land, she learns about love, friendship, heartache, and the pain of betrayal. The Nazis' rise to power casts a dark shadow over Europe, and London is thrust into a brutal war against Hitler. Severe rationing grips the British, while air raids and bombings all but destroy the city.
Against all odds, and with no knowledge of her family's fate in Germany, Gilde nurtures a tiny flicker of hope deep in her heart that someday, she will be reunited with her loved ones. As she navigates the hardships of war and the complexities of growing up, Gilde's journey is a testament to resilience, courage, and the enduring power of hope.
