Memories of Glass

Memories of Glass

Reminiscent of Diane Ackermanâ€™s The Zookeeperâ€™s Wife, this stunning novel draws from true accounts to shine a light on a period of Hollandâ€™s darkest history and bravest heroes.

1942. As war rips through the heart of Holland, childhood friends Josie van Rees and Eliese Linden partner with a few daring citizens to rescue Elieseâ€™s son and hundreds of other Jewish children who await deportation in a converted theater in Amsterdam. But amid their resistance work, Josie and Elieseâ€™s dangerous secrets could derail their friendship and their entire mission. When the enemy finds these women, only one will escape.

Seventy-five years later, Ava Drake begins to suspect that her great-grandfather William Kingston was not the World War II hero he claimed to be. Her work as director of the prestigious Kingston Family Foundation leads her to Landon Westâ€™s Ugandan coffee plantation, and Ava and Landon soon discover a connection between their families. As Landonâ€™s great-grandmother shares the broken pieces of her story, Ava must confront the greatest loss in her own lifeâ€•and powerful members of the Kingston family who will do anything to keep the truth buried.

Illuminating the story and strength of these women, award-winning author Melanie Dobson transports readers through time and place, from World War II Holland to contemporary Uganda, in this rich and inspiring novel.
