A masterful love story set against a backdrop of epic history and
unforgettable courage
In the waning months of World War II, a small group of people begin
the longest journey of their lives.
At the center is eighteen-year-old Anna, the daughter of Prussian
aristocrats, and her first love, a twenty-year-old Scottish
prisoner of war named Callum. With his boyish good looks and his
dedication to her family, he has captured Anna's heart. But he is
the enemy, and their love must remain a closely guarded secret.
Only Manfred, a twenty-six-year-old Wehrmacht corporal, knows the
truth. And Manfred, who is not what he seems to be, is reluctantly
taken with Anna, just as she finds herself drawn uncomfortably to
him.
As these unlikely allies work their way west, their flight will
test both Anna's and Callum's love, as well as their friendship
with Manfred-and will forever bind the young trio together.
