Publisher's summary

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Danielle Steel, comes a powerful, sweeping historical novel about a courageous woman in World War II Germany.

Sophia Alexander, the beautiful daughter of a famous surgeon in Berlin, has had to grow up faster than most young women. When her mother falls ill, Sophia must take charge of her younger sister Theresa, look after her father and the household, while also volunteering at his hospital after school. Meanwhile, Hitler's rise to power and the violence in her very own town have Sophia concerned, but only her mother is willing to share her fears openly. After tragedy strikes and her mother dies, Sophia becomes increasingly involved in the resistance, attending meetings of dissidents, and helping however she can.

Circumstances becoming increasingly dangerous and personal when Sophia is instrumental in her own sister's daring escape, fleeing Germany with her young husband and his family. Her father also begins to resist the regime, secretly healing those hiding from persecution, only to have his hospital burned to the ground. When he is arrested and sent to a concentration camp, Sophia is truly on her own, but more determined than ever.

While working as a nurse with the nuns of the convent, Sisters of Mercy, Sophia continues her harrowing efforts to transport Jewish children to safety and finds herself under surveillance. As the political tensions rise and the brutal persecution continues, Sophia is undeterred, risking it all, even her own freedom, as she rises to the challenge of helping those in need—no matter the cost.

In Only the Brave, Danielle Steel vividly captures the devastating effects of war alongside beautiful moments of compassion and courage.

How resilient and brave she was.

The devastation of war seemed very realistic, but I liked how well the character used her resources wisely.

Only for the braves

I felt so bad when they told kill the father because he was so upset that he didn’t want to perform of killing innocent people! Sophia the nurse and nun has survived and was helping others to excavate from danger! The other daughter Theresa had left with her husband to Switzerland before the war started!
Was happy both girls had survived! Enjoyed listening to this story!
