great

This book was really great and it's going to be hard for me to talk about it without revealing the ending. Anna's grandfather dies and she believes his last wish is for her to take the trip they had planned to the Hindenburg and go to America. She tells her brother Kurt this but he says there is no way he will let her go. Instead he wants her to go with him to Berlin to find a man for her to marry. To escape this, she sends her brother away and gets on the Hindenburg. But traveling alone scares her and she quickly finds someone to pretend to be her traveling companion. Erik Peterson seems to be the perfect compainion for the trip. But then she runs into her old love, Karl, and things become mixed up. It really is an exciting adventure and a great love story. Definitely a good read along with Washington Avalanche 1910.

A love that would never die...

Sixteen-year-old Anna Becker's life had spun out of control when her beloved grandfather died, still clutching the tickets for the Hindenburg to America. Now she'd be lucky if she can get out of the strong clutches of her brother Kurt, before he marries her off, and she surrenders her freedon forever to Nazi Germany's rules. When she is finally able to outsmart her brother, young Anna begins her daring escape to America on the doomed Hindenburg and on the way meets a young, mysterious man named Erik Peterson, who offers instant safety and maybe something more...then her world comes to a crashing halt when she meets the man who tore her heart to pieces, a man she swore to forget forever, Karl Mueller, the man she used to love, who Erik says is now a Nazi spy. Soon Anna finds herself torn between the two men, one who promises new love, and one who probably holds her heart as well as her future in his very hands. Soon Anna finds that is it more than her conscience, but her heart too that will help her make the right decision.Wow! This was such a great love story movie. It would make the most romantic love story. Even though we knew that the Hindenburg was doomed this story brought the accident into a whole new light. The tragic ending was so sad it made me cry, but I think it was a fitting ending to the story. Just a beautiful book everyone should read.
