Secret of the Rose Books

Baron von Dortmann and his beautiful daughter, Sabina, face difficult choices when the Nazis invade neighboring Poland

The second book in the Secret of the Rose series by Michael Phillips is now available in this beautiful repackage. The gripping story of a Prussian family's struggles following World War II, this book finds Sabina continuing her relentless search for her father with the help of the Jewish underground while desperately trying to remain hidden from the man she almost married. Strong Christian content is the cornerstone of this series and is sure to continue to delight historical fiction fans.

For thousands of readers, Michael Phillips has expertly illustrated the grim realities and spiritual challenges of World War II and its aftermath in the first two volumes of The Secret of the Rose series. Imprisoned years before by the Nazis for his Jewish sympathies, Baron von Dortmann has now been rescued by his daughter Sabina. Events take a climatic turn in Escape to Freedom as the two―along with American ally Matthew McCallum―desperately elude their pursuers and seek a way out of Communist Germany. But paralleled with these years of trial is the strength of this family's courageous faith in God's steadfast care.

The year is 1992, and Matthew and Sabina return to a united Germany to attend an evangelism conference and to find a way to visit Lebenhaus, the Dortmann estate. Meanwhile, their son, Tad, while researching a story for a world news organization, meets a young woman. He starts her thinking about the God she knew as a teenager and becomes embroiled in a conspiracy that threatens to destroy the newfound freedom of the Eastern Bloc nations.
