Auschwitz, 1941: It was her father’s job to save the lives of the SS. But she chose to risk everything and save the lives of prisoners.
In Nazi-occupied Poland, Sofia cannot look her father in the eye. Sofia’s mother, her papa’s cherished wife, is Jewish—how dare he work as a doctor for the SS? She cannot forgive him, even if the bargain was made to spare their lives.
In the middle of the night, Isaac emerges from a packed train with hundreds of others. Beneath Auschwitz’s barbed wire, soldiers surround them, and gunshots pierce the dark sky. The SS decide prisoners’ fates on the spot—and Isaac is chosen to work, rather than to die.
Every day, Isaac and his fellow inmates are sent to a nearby farm. From sunup to sundown, they toil the land with barely a scrap to eat. Every breath feels like it could be Isaac’s last, so when he sees a beautiful auburn-haired girl peering out of the farmhouse window, it feels like a dream....
Sofia refuses to accept what she is seeing. Disobeying her father and evading the guards, she risks her life to sneak a letter to the green-eyed boy outside. She explains that she has hidden them food and that she’ll do everything in her power to save them.
This secret exchange sparks an escape that should have been impossible—and a love story that is unforgettable. But is love enough in the face of evil? And when Sofia and Isaac are concealed underground, holding their breath as the Nazis hunt them, will they survive?
Fans of The Tattooist of Auschwitz, The Choice, and Orphan Train will be utterly gripped by this heartbreaking tale. This tear-jerker shows that even if your freedom has been robbed and your loved ones torn from you, nobody can steal your hope....

Holy crap best written, narrated, inspirational, survivor story. I was moved and in tears for knowing that they survived. An emotional rollercoaster that had a true crime, horror, dark history, disabled, biracial, immigrant child of a ‘radical’ liberal couple, 25 year old girl bawling.
Strength and Eve-opening

I have read a LOT of fictional books about WWII (that contain a lot of truth about life under Nazi rule, especially in concentration camps). With each book I am stuck with the courage, bravery, fortitude and sheer will to live it must have taken to survive those unfathomable circumstances. The cruelty of what was endured is almost incomprehensible. My admiration of the Jewish people grows with each reading. (I can’t imagine surviving five MINUTES under those conditions)!
The Doctor’s Daughter is story of two families whose lives are destroyed by Nazi rule, but highlights their determination to help others despite their own situation, and most of all on the part of the parents, their determination to ensure their children survive.
Somehow the children of these two families find each other and their lives are forever entwined. They are each other’s support and strength. They keep each other going when they think they just can’t take another step or endure another moment of life as it is. Love triumphs over evil.
The narration was excellent.
This was a wonderful read — don’t miss it! It was every bit as good as Ms. Ryan’s, “The Glovemaker’s Daughter.” I am excited to now start, “The Bookseller of Dauchau.”
