Good read

It's good to be introduced to another author that writes great books. I look forward to picking up more of her books. In the meantime this one was a good historical novel with a lot of twists and turns. I look forward to continuig the series

A novel with a purpose

Elyse's book, the first of a series on women of valor, combines the relaxation of a novel with the interest of history. She is a pleasing writer and her books have valuable information in a readable format. If you like a gentle read, albeit with some riviting suspense, Elyse Larson and her books will suit you to a tee. This first book deals with close cousins caught up in the start of WWII in Europe.

Great book!!!!!

I thought this was a GREAT book!!!!!! I couldn't put it down!!Tons of suspense. Elyse Larson is an excellent writer! Absolutely a Must Read!

Excellent Reading

I absolutely loved this book. I read it from front to back in one sitting. Elyse Larson is an intelligent writer that kept my attention the entire time. The interesting part was that I had just finished reading a nonfiction book that very closely paralleled "For Such a Time as This". Elyse Larson certainly did her homework on World War II. The story is about a World War II Red Cross Worker that volunteers to parachute into occupied France to sneak her French Resistant cousin and two children out. Larson did a remarkable job showing the dangers and reality of living under Nazi oppression.
