About the Book

Title: Until Our Time Comes
Author: Nicole M. Miller
Publisher: Revell
Release Date: July 2, 2024
Genre: WWII Historical Romance

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.

My Adult Review

Miller, Nicole M. Until Our Time Comes. Grand Rapids, MI: Revell, 2024.

I enjoy reading books set in World War II as a way to learn more about that time period in history. Usually stories revolve around battles, the resistance or the Holocaust. Until Our Time Comes tells a different kind of rescue story – that of rescuing horses. Nicole Miller based this historical novel on actual events and, according to the historical note at the end, she owns a descendent of the horse this story is based on. 

The story contains much of what I look for in historical fiction – based on actual events, a little bit of romance, doing things for the greater good (saving horses and children in this case), believable characters (even if they are fictional), and more.

One thing that did disappoint me about the story was the occasional reference to “when the stars align.” Faith is not at the forefront of the lives of the characters, in fact faith is rarely mentioned. 

I loved (and this is a spoiler) how the German officer cared about the horses and did what he could to save them. I also loved that he quietly supported the resistance activities of some of those in his employ.

Until Our Time Comes could find its way into a K-12 Christian school library. It is appropriate for high school students. 

I received a complimentary copy of Until Our Time Comes. This is my honest review.
