Although these books are quite horrific, reminding us of the atrocities in the 2nd world war, atrocities I still can't believe humans could commit, they are still beautifully written books reminding us more of the bravery and compassion of other humans all over the world. I'm ready for the next one, then will download the next three. I'm not reading another book, until I know all the characters are back safe.

About the author

USA Today Bestselling author of historical fiction.


Her books are filled with raw emotions, fierce loyalty and perpetual resilience.

She loves to put her characters through the mangle, making them reach deep within to find the strength to face moral dilemma, make difficult decisions or fight for what is right. And she never forgets to include humor and undying love in her books, because ultimately love is what makes the world go round.


Marion Kummerow was born and raised in Germany, before she set out to "discover the world" and lived in various countries. In 1999 she returned to Germany and settled down in Munich where she's now living with her family.


After dipping her toes with non-fiction books, she finally tackled the project dear to her heart. UNRELENTING is the story about her grandparents, who belonged to the German resistance and fought against the Nazi regime. It's a book about resilience, love and the courage to stand up and do the right thing.
