About this listen
Throughout the hardest times in history, love has endured the unthinkable. Often laced with tragedy and hardship, there have been few times more testing than World War II, when couples were forced to be miles apart, reliant on letters to communicate, and often not knowing for weeks whether their sweetheart was even alive.
In this gripping collection of real life love stories from one of the most tumultuous times in human history, you’ll find hope and inspiration in every corner.
In this audiobook, you’ll find:
- Ten epic love stories brimming with emotion.
- Real life stories told through the exchange of letters and fleshed out with background information from the time.
- A story salvaged from letters that were nearly burned–until they were saved by a daughter determined to share her parents’ great romance with the world.
- Tales of love enduring incredible distance, longing, and loneliness.
- The couple who fought for what was right, even though it meant parting after just a few years of wedded bliss.
- Lessons in vulnerability and daring to bare your soul, and the doors that can open when you do.
- Forbidden love–a passionate romance that broke not just one social taboo, but also faced grave danger for another reason under the Nazi regime.
- The innocuous crush that blossomed into a life-changing love affair
- The woman who never gave up hope, despite her love being documented as "killed in action".
- Love that survives against all odds–and the inspiration you can take from one incredible tale
Laced with tragedy and heartache, you’ll need your tissues handy. But for every tear you shed, there’s a smile to be found as you witness the power of true love. Immerse yourself in some of the world’s greatest (yet lesser-known) love stories.

Story
England, 1940. Opening the box with trembling hands, she couldn’t believe it–a tiny baby lay inside. She gently lifted the newborn as it started to cry. Cradling the little one to her chest, she searched the darkness for any sign of whoever left it here. And as she rocked the child, something fluttered to the ground...a ration book.

Story
August 1939: London is dismal under the weight of impending war with Germany as Hitler’s forces continue to sweep across Europe. Into this uncertain maelstrom steps Grace Bennett, young and ready for a fresh start in the bustling city streets she’s always dreamed of - and miles away from her troubled past in the countryside. With aspirations of working at a department store, Grace never imagined she’d wind up employed at Primrose Hill, an offbeat bookshop nestled in the heart of the city - after all, she’s never been much of a reader.

There is a war on masculinity, and everywhere we look—on every front we hold sacred—we can see the painful reminders of this collapsing order. The chaos and crisis we are experiencing today should be a signal for men everywhere to rise up; to fight to preserve our way of life by once again walking the ancient paths. But this isn’t a journey that need be taken alone.

Story
This story is dedicated to all the victims of sexual slavery in German concentration camps, who had to endure inhumane suffering under the Nazi regime. For many years after the atrocities had been committed, both sides - the abusers and the abused - still vehemently denied certain aspects of the Holocaust, and even the victims refused to admit the ugly truth about their incarceration, some out of fear, some out of shame, until several women decided to break an unofficial oath of silence, and brought their stories to life. This book is based on one of those stories. Emilia is a young Jewish woman, whose life slowly turns into a nightmare as she finds herself facing a dreadful choice: to secure her family's very existence by offering herself to one of the men who had put her behind the walls with barbed wire, or perish together with the least fortunate ones.

Is it possible to have peace in an uncertain world? To not only expect the unexpected but embrace it? Most of us want to have life under control. But God wants us to anticipate the unexpected with a faith deeply rooted in his goodness. He wants us to know that because he is in control, we don't have to be. In Unexpected, beloved author Christine Caine helps us walk into the life God has for us - unknowns and all. Using dramatic examples from her own journey, Christine offers real-life strategies and biblical inspiration to help us move from fear and worry to hope and trust.

What do you do when the unthinkable happens? Elle Wright had an admittedly easy pregnancy - her scans went well, she and her baby were healthy throughout, and in May 2016, she and her husband welcomed their son, Teddy, into the world. Just a few hours after giving birth, they woke to find a nurse holding a cold and unresponsive Teddy, who had stopped breathing during the night. The happiest day of Elle's life had turned into every parent's worst nightmare, and she had to let her beautiful baby boy go.
