Safe In God’s Care

Ottavia’s Story by Clara Franklin is a powerful historical story based on the true stories of a group of women in a concentration camp during World War II. It is a tale that will consume you.

It was a time of great evil but even in the pit of hell, angels turned up in the most remarkable of places.

It seemed like God had forgotten His people but He walked alongside them, showing up at just the right time. His hand was on His children.

The reader witness’s bravery, love and care. It takes a great deal of courage to tread the roads that some trod.

Families were separated from each other. “Maybe the unknown is better because then you can always have some hope.” Some wanted to hang on to hope. Others wanted to hear the truth.

There were pockets of kindness during the darkest of times. Not all Germans were Nazis.

God is a God who sees and who provides. After the war, an amazing amount of ‘coincidences’ just seemed to fall into place. Some characters received answers to long-asked questions.

Ottavia’s Story was a powerful tale of amazing courage and compassion. It filled my heart and soul. It is a story that needs to be read in memory of the six million innocents. Thank you Clara Franklin for sharing it.
