Until Our Time Comes:
American horse trainer Adia Kensington is living her dream of working at the famous Janów Podlaski stables in Poland, where the best Arabian horses in the world are bred. But when Luftwaffe bombers swoop overhead, she realizes it is only a matter of time before the Germans invade her beloved adopted country. She is frantically trying to save the priceless stallion Lubor and the other horses from annihilation. But she can’t do this alone.
Bret Conway is a British operative posing as a war correspondent. At the request of a mutual friend, he is also entrusted with keeping Adia safe. But this entreaty becomes more difficult as she insists on evacuating 250 horses to save them from being stolen, sold, or eaten by the invading forces. Little do either of them realize that this is just the beginning of six long years of occupation that will threaten the beloved horses at every turn.
Join Adia and Bret on a heroic quest that will test their physical, mental, and emotional strength, as well as their faith in God, humankind, and each other.
