About this listen

Cate is a runner. She prefers to help her fiancé run his New York senate race, but she finds herself running instead to fix what’s broken between her grandparents before he finds out - her grandmother has moved out of the family home, and her grandfather is accused of a pre-WWII relationship with a woman in Germany.

Dietrich is a German journalist with a spotless reputation. He prefers facts, but he finds himself lost in a world of fiction instead to prove his novelist grandmother couldn’t possibly have been the lover of a US runner in Berlin’s 1936 Olympics - especially when that runner’s granddaughter is Cate, a stubborn obstacle he should but can’t ignore.

Cate runs hard to cover up what Dietrich uncovers, until he shows her how it could have been - and how it could be again - that one can indeed love an enemy.

I spent almost the whole book trying to understand what was going on, and honestly, I'm still not sure I understand it all. It's a mystery with an underlying romance, but is it the romance of the runner in Hitler's Olympics, or the romance of the runner in NYC. Hence, part of the mystery! But a writer of the past and a writer of the present, together bring romance to the forefront.
The narration was outstanding, but I don't have first hand experience of German accents.
Colleen writes such unique stories, blending books and authors from across the world and across different eras! This is my third book by her, and the second with this mystery, romance and book correlation!

They say there are two sides to every story and you can’t always tell a book by its cover. That’s what I concluded in Out of Splinters and Ashes. Colleen Donnelly has a unique way of drawing you with her writing style in this cryptic, with conjuncture, mystery, lies, suspense, innuendo, and a granddaughter that has the passion, love, to find the truth to set an injustice to right. April McIntire Borrow was the perfect narrator to bring this story to light.
Thank you Colleen for gifting me this audible book for a fair and honest review.
