Book Description

July 1, 2006
Will they ever make it to the coast? It all depends on... the HESITANT HERO When Tyler Winslow is expelled from college in New York, he decides to study art in Paris. When he fails at that as well, and with no family or career to return to in the States, he settles further south in France, painting for his own pleasure and pursuing a woman he had dated in college. Jolie Vernay has no interest in Tyler, but their lives are soon entwined with those of several Jewish orphans. As the conflicts of World War II come dangerously close, Tyler starts to understand that the world doesn't revolve around him. He and Jolie agree that they must flee the country and get the children to safety. Then a baby is also thrust into their care, further complicating the already desperate situation. Can they hope to escape the Nazis when all the odds are against them? (House of Winslow Book 38)

4.0 out of 5 stars Pleasing entry in long running series, August 11, 2006
This review is from: The Hesitant Hero: 1940 (The House of Winslow #38) (Paperback)
Hesitant Hero by Gilbert Morris is the next book in the House of Winslow series. In this installment, artist Tyler Winslow leaves for Paris to learn his art at the beginning of World War II. He soon falls in love with the beautiful doctor Jolie Varney and is caught up in a plan to sneak three Jewish children from the country before the Nazis can find them. This book is so much better than the previous entry in the series. The writing is much smoother, and the characters far more believable. The romance grows realistically, and the action is easy to follow. While the race across France to the coast is a little similar to a previous Winslow book, the story is still a good one. The book is sure to please fans of the HOW series and new readers as well. I look forward to the next book in the series.

This review is from: The Hesitant Hero: 1940 (The House of Winslow #38) (Paperback)
The House of Winslow has had some fascinating stories. Though they've spent quite some time in the WWII era, it's still a good story. There are some slow sections, but learning about Tyler's failures and eventual triumphs is still neat. Jolie's interesting too, though I think they already used that name in a previous book, (it's still a cool name).
So what do we have? We have some orphans, a handsome Winslow, and a French doctor-chick who're running all over France....what could go wrong?
