Description
Prussia, 1937. A baron tends his roses and his estate. His daughter is falling in love. And the Nazis are coming for them both and their beloved Lebenshaus.
The first book in a sweeping four-book saga of faith, courage, and romance in the shadow of tyranny — by bestselling novelist Michael Phillips. Newly re-released for todays generation of readers.
Baron von Dortmann cares for his family with the same passion and devotion with which he tends the roses in his beloved garden. Amid the placid rhythms of farm life, the baron looks over his world with both a fathers and a gardeners eyes, teaching his daughter Sabina life lessons about God, creation, and love. Already, she has caught the eye of a young American, Matthew, and their neighbors son, Gustav.
Then a storm sweeps over neighboring Poland — the thunder and lightning of the German blitzkrieg — which will change the Dortmanns lives forever.
The baron will be left with a most difficult decision. Sabina will be left with the secret of the rose.
So begins The Secret of the Rose — a four-book saga from Michael Phillips, author of Rift in Time, Walking with God, the Stonewycke series, and more than 100 other titles spanning fifty years of Christian fiction and nonfiction.
