I am reviewing a copy of Ways We Hide through Sourcebooks Landmark and Netgalley:




Fenna Vos learned to focus on her own survival, as a little girl raised amid the hardships of Michigan’s Copper Country.  The ability to focus on her own survival sustains her even as World War 2 rages in faraway countries. Though she performs onstage as the assistant to an unruly escape artist, behind the curtain she’s the mastermind of their act. Ultimately, controlling her surroundings and eluding traps of every kind helps her keep a lingering trauma at bay.




Yet for all her planning, Fenna doesn’t foresee being called upon by British military intelligence. Tasked with designing escape aids to thwart the Germans, MI9 seeks those with specialized skills for a war nearing its breaking point. Fenna reluctantly joins the unconventional team as an inventor. But when a test of her loyalty draws her deep into the fray, she discovers no mission is more treacherous than escaping one’s past.





The Ways We Hide is inspired by true accounts, and is a gripping story of love and loss, the wars we fight on the battlefields and within ourselves and the courage found in unexpected places.



I give Ways We Hide five out of five stars!



Happy Reading!
