I'd never heard of the horses rescued from the hands of the Nazis and the Russians in WWII, so when I discovered debut novelist Nicole M. Miller wrote a book about it, I couldn't wait to talk about it with her. Listen in to learn more about this amazing story.

Nicole M. Miller's passion for horses shines through this WWII novel of the Arabian horses in Poland. We often think of horses being a part of WWI but to learn that most of Poland's army was still a mounted cavalry in WWII and that General Patton was part of liberating a bunch of horses from German capture... Let's just say I was riveted.

And Miles to Go by Linell Smith (available on eBay for the low, low price of $112!!!)
The Perfect Horse by Elizabeth Betts
Until Our Time Comes by Nicole M. Miller
American horse trainer Adia Kensington is living her dream of working at the famous Janów Podlaski stables in Poland, where they breed the best Arabian horses in the world. But her plans to bring the priceless stallion Lubor to the US are derailed when the German army storms into her adopted country in 1939. Little does she know this is just the beginning of six long years of occupation that will threaten her beloved horses at every turn.
Bret Conway is at Janów Podlaski under the guise of a news reporter, but his true mission is intelligence gathering for the British. That and keeping Adia safe, which is harder and harder to do as she insists they must evacuate 250 horses to save them from being stolen, sold, or eaten by the invading forces. What follows will test their physical, mental, and emotional strength, as well as their faith in God, humankind, and each other.
Drawn from true events of World War II, this epic story of escape, capture, resistance, and love from debut novelist Nicole M. Miller will thunder into your heart like a herd of beautiful horses across a raging river.
