Publisher's summary

My beautiful boy.... Created in love.... Born into hatred.

There were so many terrifying stories about the Jews. People called them useless vermin, filthy, dangerous. Before I met Abram, I was afraid of them, too. But I am about to tell you a very different story—a forbidden story.

My love for Abram defied all reason...as well as German law.

Tonight our son giggles with excitement as he blows out the candles on his birthday cake. But our safety is nothing but an illusion. As his candles burn out, a window shatters outside. The room shudders as the synagogue down the street is engulfed in flames.

Kristallnacht has begun.

When my hidden paradise crumbles like a stack of cards, I must do everything in my power to protect that which is most precious to me. My son's secret must remain hidden.

Before we lose everything.

Carl taken

Couldn’t put this book down, it’s a very good read. Just wished I had found out what happened to the boy before the book ended

history repeats itself. in the midst of so much hate, there are good people.

loved the story! the ending - gasp! relieved to see a book 2!! why do people hate? it is such a fine line between misunderstanding, hate & persecution. is it possible to heal the world?

Good readers

Just when story was reaching the struggle it ended! such a build up to nothing. I hope there is a book 2.

In desperate need of an editor

Example: While giving birth, Kara tells her "mother-in law" she wishes her sister was with her at that moment. During a conversation between the two characters in the very next chapter, the mother-in-law says, "I didn't know you had a sister." REALLY? This kind of sloppiest is throughout the book and it drives me crazy. If the author can't keep her information straight within a single work, I don't have much faith in her maintaining consistency throughout a series. I won't be wasting my time to find out.
