Out of the Dark
by
Ella Mehn
Kathleen Thomas is a twelve-year-old girl living in occupied Denmark during World War II. When she falls into a mysterious hole in the woods near her adopted aunts’ house, she loses her beloved Bible and meets a boy named Jack, the first of many compelling strangers to stumble into her life. A teenage Nazi, a baker’s apprentice with a tragic past, and a little girl forced to hide in a closet—all are connected, but how? When Jack’s friend is captured by the Nazis, Kathleen takes action and finds herself plunged into danger. But light can be found in the darkest places, and as friends emerge from the shadows, Kathleen makes discoveries that change her forever: loving one’s enemies and embracing the family God grants us.
Ella Mehn has always been fascinated by World War II and history. She started writing at age twelve, when a five-page story contest with a friend ballooned into sixty pages: the spark that would eventually become Out of the Dark. Ella lives with her family of seven in the southern Manitoba countryside. Like Kathleen, she loves being in nature and spending time with friends.
