    'A moving novel of strength and resistance in the face of evil but also an inspiring journey of resilience after loss' Erin Litteken Paris, 1940: Two sisters separated by the Nazis… After a devastating attack, Justine and Ève Beaufort find themselves on opposite sides of the war, both in their beloved Paris. But can they ever find their way back to each other? 
It was the day that changed everything. When the Nazis broke into our home, destroying everything, taking our home and our security. I thought it couldn’t get worse. But then they also took my sister. 
After that day nothing was the same. I thought I’d never see her again. I thought she was lost to me forever. I joined the Resistance, vowing to fight against the evil German army with every last spark of fire in my body. Nothing and nobody can stop me. 
Until I catch a glimpse of a woman who looks just like my sister. Alive. But this is not the sweet darling girl I once knew. This is a platinum blonde happily conversing with a terrifying Gestapo officer. No longer my sister. But a traitor. 
And I know what I must now do… 
Gripping, heartbreaking, historical fiction, set in Nazi-occupied Paris – perfect for fans of The Nightingale and All the Light We Cannot See.

    "Taylor's elegantly simple prose is compelling, and his attention to detail is the work of an expert storyteller. An unforgettable book that will resonate with readers of World War Il historical fiction." – Library Journal starred review
"A man's reverence for art leads to wartime defiance in the enchanting historical novel The Prodigal of Leningrad. Told with fabulistic clarity…a moving exploration of what it costs to uphold Christian virtues, including truth and beauty." Foreword Reviews
In this World War II historical novel set during the harrowing siege of Leningrad, Daniil Aslanov, a docent at the Hermitage Museum, gives tours of empty frames. As the city starves, he battles a secret shame, while his grandfather—a persecuted Orthodox priest exiled to the Gulag—clings to faith.
While bombs fall and starvation grips the city, Daniil Aslanov continues to lead tours of empty frames through the Hermitage Museum. Although the museum's masterpieces have been hidden away for safekeeping, their presence lingers in memory and meaning.
Daniil's grandfather, an Orthodox priest exiled for decades to the brutal Gulag, embraces suffering as his sacred calling, thanking God for being allowed to minister to those around him. As Leningrad's people perish, Daniil finds himself drawn to the story behind Rembrandt's painting, "The Return of the Prodigal Son."
Beautifully told and based on real historical events, including the extraordinary wartime tours of the Hermitage's empty galleries, The Prodigal of Leningrad is a stirring and unforgettable story of human resilience, and a profound meditation on art, faith, forgiveness and healing. 
Readers of The Nightingale,A Gentleman in Moscow, and City of Thieves, and all those interested in World War II history will welcome this important contribution to the genre.

    Most of us know the messages delivered by the prophet Isaiah, but do we know the story behind the man? Raised in the king’s palace, Isaiah, unlike other prophets, was given a unique perspective to counsel kings and foretell the coming of the King of Kings.     His family relationships most likely created an internal conflict for him as he delivered the difficult messages Jehovah God had for His people and their kings. Long before Isaiah ever knew the events that would unfold in his life, God had been at work in him to mold and shape him into a man to whom He could entrust this extraordinary assignment.     But don’t lose sight that Isaiah was a flawed ordinary man placed in God-ordered circumstances to be a follower through whom God would accomplish extraordinary things. Through this novella, you’ll discover the heart and character of the prophet called to proclaim the promise of the coming Messiah.
