About the Book Trust the Stars
Olivia Garza, a woman committed to making a difference in the world, thrives in her unconventional, service-oriented life. By day, she helps troubled teens in inner-city Little Rock… by night, she unwittingly creates a viral web video series when she tries to better understand her mother’s desperate decisions by retracing her steps with a camera. So far, Olivia has always been the anonymous narrator, but she’s promised to reveal herself in the last stop of her documentary: Kenya.
Prince Louis is the heir to the throne of the small European kingdom of Alloria, in Kenya to run away from a broken heart—and the media circus that comes with it. When he meets Olivia, he recognizes her voice right away from the docu-series that has stirred his heart. However, they share a magical day on safari, and any dreams of happily ever after come crashing down with the flash of the paparazzi cameras when Olivia realizes that he represents everything she most despises in the world.
In World War II Rome, another royal, however, has her own life-changing choices to make. Princess Alessandra Appiani could have chosen quiet safety within the walls of the Vatican, but instead, she risks her life—and her family—to save the Jewish children so in need of someone to show them the love of God.
When Olivia is hired to help create a documentary about Alessandra, learning about the sacrifice of a royal who goes from palace to prison forces her to face the hardest questions of all: Should she continue on the path she’s carved for herself…or trust God to give her the future she never thought she wanted?

My Thoughts on Trust the Stars
Tricia is one of those authors that you immediately know you’re settling into reading a good book just because her name is on the cover. I knew I needed to read this one! I’ve recently been on a royalty, rags to riches reading spree and this sounded right up that alley.
Let me just say I was not disappointed! The story read quickly. The characters immediately enthralled me and I fell in love with them. Oh, and the dual timeline was amazing! I really like those too.
Our main female character is Olivia. She’s had a hard and rough life. And there is no way to gloss over that or make it seem like a minor detail. You just can’t. It’s shaped who she is and what she’s after in life.
In our other timeline, we’re in WWII. And I know you know this if you’re reading my reviews, but I love WWII novels! And this one is another in a long list I’ve been reading lately that focuses on saving the Jewish children. It was such a wonderful and noble thing and yet put people in so much danger that we don’t often hear or focus on that.
You might be asking where the royalty comes in.
In our hop back in time it is Alessandra who is a princess. And in our modern day, it is Louis who is a Prince.
It’s so hard to share this story because I want to let you know everything that is going on in the story. But if I do that then you won’t need to read the book. And you really should read the book! It’s a wonderful read. I actually would love to see more books spinning off this one! But I don’t think that’s in the works so I’ll just have to be sad.
