about the book
American horse trainer Adia Kensington is living her dream of working at the famous Janów Podlaski stables in Poland, where they breed the best Arabian horses in the world. But her plans to bring the priceless stallion Lubor to the US are derailed when the German army storms into her adopted country in 1939. Little does she know this is just the beginning of six long years of occupation that will threaten her beloved horses at every turn.
Bret Conway is at Janów Podlaski under the guise of a news reporter, but his true mission is intelligence gathering for the British. That and keeping Adia safe, which is harder and harder to do as she insists they must evacuate 250 horses to save them from being stolen, sold, or eaten by the invading forces. What follows will test their physical, mental, and emotional strength, as well as their faith in God, humankind, and each other.
Drawn from true events of World War II, this epic story of escape, capture, resistance, and love from debut novelist Nicole M. Miller will thunder into your heart like a herd of beautiful horses across a raging river.

review
join an american horse trainer and a british spy as world war ii comes to poland in until our time comes!
she knows war is imminent, but adia kensington determines that the horses under her care will not suffer the fate that so many do in wartime. keeping the horses safe is quite the risky endeavor, and while spying, bret conway becomes tasked with keeping adia safe, too—which proves to be just as risky.
their story begins near the start of the german occupation of poland and spans the years of world war ii. there's escape and resistance, heartbreak and loss, love and loyalty packed into its pages. these characters go on a journey full of danger—and a few hope-filled surprises, too. with grit and fortitude, they do what they can to not only survive the war, but also preserve culture and humanity for life after.
this spirit of resilience and determination throughout until our time comes reminded me of the warsaw sisters. both books highlight the polish experience during world war ii, each providing interesting insight into that period of time.
the historical-fiction reader should not be disappointed to pick up this debut from nicole m. miller.
