About the Book
Do you love reading true adventure stories that capture your attention with nearly unbelievable, miraculous drama? Are you searching for a book that tempts you—or those on your gift list— to ignore time, phone calls, and internet feeds? Do you need a reminder that love is a choice—and a vision of how that plays out in life’s most challenging times? Do you yearn for assurance that God intervenes for His children, guiding them through private heartaches and catastrophic upheaval? Then, this book is for you.
Prepare yourself. Though this story may have happened years before you were born in a country you may never have visited—beautiful Poland—you’ll be amazed as you experience with the Kuzma family God’s guidance in their quest for love, faith, and freedom. Through religious and political persecution, Nazi terrorism, family rejection, and the chaos of war and displacement, God ultimately leads Elza and her family to a place of promise and unlimited potential.
Dr. Kay Kuzma says, “This is not a novel. Every word and shocking circumstance is true—it happened to my husband’s family. There are too many ‘coincidences’ to ignore the fact that God is personally involved in lives today, regardless of struggles and character flaws, because with faith, anything is possible.”
The message is clear. Never give up your quest for love, faith, and freedom, regardless of the stumbling blocks the enemy may throw at you. Read and be inspired in your personal quest for a destiny that fulfills your dreams.
Available in PAPERBACK and eBOOK formats.

A great, inspiring book by a wonderful writer!
Posted by ALR on 30th Jul 2024
TEACH Services received the following review:
“I loved reading Elza's Quest. It's just a great story. It's about real people, but reads like a page-turning novel, especially as it got deeper into her life during the war. Would they ever get married? Would they survive the war? Would they find each other after the war? Elza becomes a great model of resilience, using her deep faith to find a way to cope with whatever hit her family. A great, inspiring book by a wonderful writer!”

Fantastic job of reporting, researching, and writing
Posted by ALR on 30th Jul 2024
TEACH Services received the following review:
“Reading Kay’s book, I feel blessed all over again—for I was there with the Kuzma family in the Wentorf Camp for Displaced Persons. (In the “chapel picture” I’m the only boy in the second row of children.) Our families went through similar disappointments. But here in America all of us Hintz children, Hannah, George, and I, were given good Christian educational opportunities, the freedom of worship, and so, so much more. God has truly blessed us. What a fantastic job of reporting, researching, and writing Kay did. Her book brings back so many memories."

Be Inspired As You See How God Protects His Children
Posted by ALR on 30th Jul 2024
TEACH Services received the following reveiw:
“Elza’s Quest is a powerful true story of a devoted young couple, successful in literature ministry in Poland before World War II, who found themselves caught up in the murder and mayhem of the Nazi occupation and then the Soviet onslaught. This compelling book provides a window into the horrendous decisions that faced regular people caught between competing totalitarian powers. Harassed by Nazi soldiers and the Gestapo, and then by rogue Soviet soldiers and the KGB, the family navigated unspeakable violence and hatred, enduring labor camps, hunger marches, and hostility from all sides because of their stand for Bible truth.
“Follow their incredible journey as the father escapes the tyranny of a Nazi forced labor camp, and the mother chooses family unity, attempting an impossible escape with four children across the closed communist border to rejoin her husband—only to face the challenges of living in German displaced person’s camps for years. God watched over this family, miraculously preserving their lives and bringing them to America where He wrote their next chapter. Be inspired as you see how God protects His children, and how good ultimately triumphs over evil.”
⁓ Conrad Vine, DMin, President at Adventist Frontier Missions, and YouTube Personality
