<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>1944, Germany: Gazing through the barbed wire fence, up to the pale blue sky, Antonia dreams of home: cherry orchards, golden fields, and the man she loves, who she may never see again...</strong></p><p><br></p><p>Resistance fighter <strong>Antonia</strong> is out in the forest behind her family's beloved farm when the Nazi soldiers arrive. As she sees her sister <strong>Lena </strong>and her young nephews herded towards the trucks, guns pointed at their heads, she faces a split-second, heart-wrenching decision: to stay hidden, stay free and continue the fight. Or to give herself up and go with her family to protect them-no matter what lies ahead.</p><p><br></p><p>As she clutches her nephew's little hand in hers, her other arm tight around Lena, she knows she has made the right choice. And as the truck rattles towards a brutal labor camp, and they start to wonder what fate has in store for them, Antonia's only thought is of how to escape.</p><p><br></p><p>Because before they were captured, Antonia worked tirelessly to free her country from those who had turned her homeland into a bloody battleground. By her side had been clever, handsome <strong>Viktor</strong>. The man she was to marry, whose love shone like a light in the darkness of war surrounding them.</p><p><br></p><p>Antonia does not know if Viktor has been caught or executed. But she knows she must try to find a way back to him and she cannot wait any longer to be saved. Her precious nephews will die without proper food and they could all be killed at any moment.</p><p><br></p><p>The world outside the camp gates is full of danger, but they have to find a way through them first. And that is their only hope, even if it costs Antonia her life. <strong>The Nazis have taken everything from her, but they can never take away her courage...</strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong>A heartbreaking, inspiring and totally unforgettable story of the unbelievable courage and determination of extraordinary people in the darkest days of war. Fans of Kristin Hannah, Fiona Valpy, and <em>The Tattooist of Auschwitz</em> will be gripped from the very first page until the final, heart-stopping conclusion.</strong></p>
