I have been recently reading a phenomenal book, The Curator’s Daughter, by Melanie Dobson. When I got to the end, I sobbed. I literally couldn’t speak for half an hour later. It was beautiful. Moving. Inspiring. Filled with everything you want in a book.
That’s why I’ve picked The Curator’s Daughter as our June giveaway. This is one you’re sure to love and to want to read over and over again.
Before we get to the giveaway, here’s a little bit about The Curator’s Daughter. And don’t forget that subscribers to my newsletter get a bonus giveaway each month. This month’s is a great one. I know you’re going to love it!
A young girl, kidnapped on the eve of World War II, changes the lives of a German archaeologist forced into the Nazi Party and—decades later—a researcher trying to overcome her own trauma.
1940. Hanna Tillich cherishes her work as an archaeologist for the Third Reich, searching for the Holy Grail and other artifacts to bolster evidence of a master Aryan race. But when she is reassigned to work as a museum curator in Nuremberg, then forced to marry an SS officer and adopt a young girl, Hanna begins to see behind the Nazi facade. A prayer labyrinth becomes a storehouse for Hanna’s secrets, but as she comes to love Lilly as her own daughter, she fears that what she’s hiding—and what she begins to uncover—could put them both in mortal danger.
Eighty years later, Ember Ellis is a Holocaust researcher intent on confronting hatred toward the Jewish people and other minorities. She reconnects with a former teacher on Martha’s Vineyard after she learns that Mrs. Kiehl’s mother once worked with the Nazi Ahnenerbe. And yet, Mrs. Kiehl describes her mother as “a friend to the Jewish people.” Wondering how both could be true, Ember helps Mrs. Kiehl regain her fractured childhood memories of World War II while at the same time confronting the heartache of her own secret past—and the person who wants to silence Ember forever.

I would hide all my gold and jewels…that is if I had any. Thank you for sharing this book as it sounds fabulous.
I think that a secret room would be a great place to store valuables. Plus it might be a great place for some quiet time.
Both of my brothers fought in World War II, one in the Navy, on a ship protecting the coastal waters of France, and one a Marine, who fought on Okinawa and Iwo Jimi! He was a Corporal and a rifle Sharpshooter in the Pacific area! I’d hide my favorite books and my jewelry from my husband! I’d love to read The Curator’s Daughter, by Melanie Dobson. Thanks for the chance!
I would use a secret room as a prayer closet.
I would hide valuables…my Bible, crucial documents, jewelry, & family pictures. Thank you for the chance to win The Curator’s Daughter! It sounds AWESOME!!!
If I had a secret room, I would make it into my own private library where I could read in peace to my heart’s content!
A secret room would be a great place to keep all my seasonal decorations…organized…and to hide/store gifts that have yet to be sent.
Anything set in WWII generally tends to be a must-read for me. This book sounds fantastic! Thanks so much for sharing this with us!! 🥰📚
If I had a Secret Room I would hide all my favorite things in one place, Books Photo’s ect, so I could just go in and spend Time unwinding, and enjoying time for myself.
What a great question! I have a lot of old books, like my grandmother’s Grace Livingston Hill collection, that have sentimental value, that I would hide. Plus any valuables.
I’d hide my treasures in the secret room.
