Book excerpt: Inspired by the history of the Danes and their Jewish neighbors who worked together to defy the Reich, Miracle Across the Sound is a story of bravery, love, and true freedom. It is September 1943, and Jews are still free in German-occupied Denmark. But that is about to change. Jewish college student Fleming Lund and his Lutheran former fiancée, Liesel Prestur, have not spoken since they ended their engagement. When Leisel witnesses the Gestapo hauling her Jewish neighbors from their home in the middle of the night, she sneaks off to warn the Lunds. Unbeknownst to her, Flem recently came to realize that Yeshua, the one she calls Jesus, is the Messiah and he sees her appearance on his doorstep as an answer to prayer. Amidst Denmark's crumbling puppet government, Flem and Liesel renew their plans to marry. Sadly, that dream is postponed once again when they learn of Hitler's plot to round up Denmark's Jews in a midnight raid on Rosh Hashanah. Woven into this fictional romance is the inspiring but little-known history of how in 1943, over the month of October, ordinary Danes smuggled nearly all their Jewish countrymen to freedom in Sweden.
