Daughter of Light (Orca Young Readers) by Martha Attema

During the harsh winter of 1944, when food is scarce and electricity has been turned off, a nine year old Dutch girl whose mother is pregnant confronts the town's Nazi-collaborationist mayor to try to convince him to restore electricity before the baby is born.

When the War Is over by Martha Attema

I loved this story! I wish there had been a sequel. Very romantic. A story of love, loss, and sacrifice!
