A stirring novel of first love in a time of war and the unbearable
choices that could tear sisters apart, from the celebrateD author
of "The Kommandant's Girl "
Life is a constant struggle for the eighteen-year-old Nowak twins
as they raise their three younger siblings in rural Poland under
the shadow of the Nazi occupation. The constant threat of arrest
has made everyone in their village a spy, and turned neighbor
against neighbor. Though rugged, independent Helena and pretty,
gentle Ruth couldn't be more different, they are staunch allies in
protecting their family from the threats the war brings closer to
their doorstep with each passing day.
Then Helena discovers an American paratrooper stranded outside
their small mountain village, wounded, but alive. Risking the
safety of herself and her family, she hides Sam--a Jew--but
Helena's concern for the American grows into something much deeper.
Defying the perils that render a future together all but
impossible, Sam and Helena make plans for the family to flee. But
Helena is forced to contend with the jealousy her choices have
sparked in Ruth, culminating in a singular act of betrayal that
endangers them all--and setting in motion a chain of events that
will reverberate across continents and decades.
