I thoroughly enjoy Kristys writing. She effortlessly blends the present day with the past.
This is book 2 of the Hidden Masterpiece series. Sera and William have married and are planning on opening an art gallery. A painting from the past opens up new discoveries and a new story of the life of Kaja and Liam from war torn Prague. Sera and Kaja must both hold firm to their faith and to protect all that they hold dear. ( )

Kristy Cambron has focused yet again on an aspect of World War II that I didn't know anything about before reading A Sparrow in Terezin: what happened with the children in the concentration camps. This is not an easy read, but it is spellbinding. It can be heart-rending, yet is full of hope and faith in God. It will give you new courage, and strength in God for the trials you may face. ( )

Even though I quite enjoyed this book, it certainly wasn't as good as "The Butterfly and the Violin" . The two parallel stories didn't connect as well as they did in the first book and I had very little interest in what was happening to modern Sera and Wiliam.

Like "The Butterfly and the Violin", I found the storyline set during WWII far more interesting, but I was still disappointed. I never fully believed Kaja's story. She was like a cat, always landing safely on her feet and while I liked Liam, Dane was just too good to be true.

I also thought that the author didn't provide enough detail of the gut-wrenching horrors and overwhelming depravities that Adele would have witnessed whilst in Auschwitz. Overall, I was disappointed with "A Sparrow in Terezin". It certainly didn't live up to expectations after the fabulous debut of "The Butterfly and the Violin". ( )

A Hidden Masterpiece Novel #2

Two love stories intertwined throughout the book
Two love stories connected by a child, grown to be elderly
Two love stories of two distinct time periods: one in the now, the second in World War II
Two love stories seeking honest relationships where two people can be themselves
Two love stories where the couples call upon God for their strength in the midst of seemingly insurmountable odds, tremendous suffering

Sera James (from The Butterfly and the Violin) is opening a new art gallery in California, moving everything from New York. She is preparing to marry William Hanover at about the same time. Everything looks like the start of a fairy-tale life for them.

BUT…William is accused of a crime he did not commit, is arrested barely before the wedding ceremony is completed. From here, one side of this story centers around this new marriage, the fight for innocence and battling accusations that wound, struggling to hold onto hope in a future with William, and the discovery of the other side of this intertwined story.

The other side begins in 1939 when Kája Makovsky, living in Prague with her family, is forced to flee as the city is coming under the occupation by Nazi Germany. Kája must leave behind her half-Jewish family. In 1942, as a reporter for The Daily Telegraph in London, Kája feels the terror of this war because the “London Blitz” has arrived over England. Through her job, she learns that Jews are being exterminated by the thousands on the European continent. Kája feels she has no choice but to return to Prague, risking her life to smuggle her family to freedom and peace.

Survival and hope tie Sera and Kája together. Their faith holds them up as they do their best to protect those they love and all they hold dear. Their own lives fall into the background when far more is at stake as they each risk everything for those they care about most. A survivor of the Holocaust (a third person) shares her story of hope from this deep, dark period of history with Sera, binding Sera and Kája across time.
It is a wonderful story. It can be read without having read the first, but I believe it would be better to have read The Butterfly and the Violin. I find that reading true stories of the Holocaust gives me an actual perspective of how people survived and how they aided others. I have read Corrie ten Boom’s story as she and her family aided the Jews in Holland. She was taken to a concentration camp and survived, although her sister did not. Her real life is all about Jesus. He was on her lips until God brought her home many years later. I also like historical fiction of many eras, but like to read these Holocaust novels by Kristy Cambron for she brings faith front and center, making God so very important in the midst of this hell on earth. I highly recommend these two books.

A Sparrow In Terezin by Kristy Cambron is a heartbreaking, yet hope filled book of love and courage written for the reader who is not only interested in being entertained, but simultaneously informed to historical events that took place during World War II.

Masterful writing!
A Sparrow In Terezin by Kristy Cambron captures the happenings that took place within the boundaries of the Nazi established Jewish internment camp of Terezin during World War II. Terezin was a town in Northwestern Czechoslovakia and history records that Jews were brought by the thousands to this city for the purpose of falsely promoting a model "Jewish settlement" of sorts and thereby utilizing it to show the world how well the Jewish nation was being treated by the Nazis. This in fact was a lie. The town in actuality served as a transit camp run by the SS for the Jews who were en route for extermination to other death camps. The city was an overcrowded ghetto filled with underfed, mostly elderly and young Jewish people who were suffering from rampant illness and poor living conditions.

Kristy Cambron logically interlaces the lives of the two main characters, Kaja and Sera between current time and 1942. As each woman faces the most intense trial of her life, they each uncover an inner strength and peace. The story utilizes meticulous narration as the two intertwined lives eventually comprehend that the source of their strength is Christ living within them. The gospel presentation is subtle, but unmistakably clear. The continual foundation of family commitment and unwavering selflessness that are consistently communicated in this book, are inspiring and commendable. The inhumanity revealed within A Sparrow In Terezin as depicted through the horrendous events occurring in the city during the war are clearly appalling and paralyzing, however, the countering bravery, trust, resilience, hope and faith that each character represents, manage to restore a sense of confidence in humankind that is undeniable.

I was enlightened to some of the atrocities that occurred during this time period and I am grateful for a deeper understanding of the intense suffering that took place. I was truly touched by the reading of this book. I found the descriptions of the children within the city walls to be hauntingly realistic. A Sparrow In Terezin was painful to read in some parts, but the exchange for knowledge was worth the injurious emotions. I'm thankful for the education and I walk away from this masterpiece with a desire to be "a teacher of hope".
