"Every historical fiction novel should strive to be this
compelling, well-researched and just flat-out good." - Associated
Press For fans of The Nightingale and The Handmaid's Tale, Cradles
of the Reich uncovers a topic rarely explored in fiction: the
Lebensborn project, a Nazi breeding program to create a so-called
master race. Through thorough research and with deep empathy, this
chilling historical novel goes inside one of the Lebensborn Society
maternity homes that existed in several countries during World War
II, where thousands of "racially fit" babies were bred and taken
from their mothers to be raised as part of the new Germany. At the
Heim Hochland maternity home in Bavaria, three women's lives
coverage as they find themselves there under very different
circumstances. Gundi is a pregnant university student from Berlin.
An Aryan beauty, she's secretly a member of a resistance group.
Hilde, only eighteen, is a true believer in the cause and is
thrilled to carry a Nazi official's child. And Irma, a 44-year-old
nurse, is desperate to build a new life for herself after personal
devastation. Despite their opposing beliefs, all three have
everything to lose as they begin to realize they are trapped within
Hitler's terrifying scheme to build a Nazi-Aryan nation. A
cautionary tale for modern times told in stunning detail, Cradles
of the Reich uncovers a little-known Nazi atrocity but also carries
an uplifting reminder of the power of women to set aside
differences and work together in solidarity in the face of
oppression. "Skillfully researched and told with great care and
insight, here is a World War II story whose lessons should not-must
not-be forgotten." - Susan Meissner, bestselling author of The
Nature of Fragile Things
