Dachau, 1942. Emilie has been told she's here to nurse evil men. But the first patient she sees in the cold, dark room is hauntingly familiar. Her first love is not wicked. He couldn't be. What is he doing here?
Emilie's heart stops as she takes in her childhood sweetheart hunched in a tattered prisoners uniform, the light lost from his face. Her new husband, Otto, said this was a camp for criminals. He should know, he's the doctor. But Danner would never have broken the law.
As she looks into Danner's beautiful brown eyes, she's transported back to their happy childhood in Munich. The friendship they shared. The way her heart once felt like it beat only for him. Before the Jewish laws were enforced and Danner pushed Emilie away to protect her, breaking her heart.
Now, Emilie rushes to find Otto, desperate for answers. But when she discovers him waiting with confidentiality papers for her to sign, she realizes her husband has been lying. This isn't a place to treat sick criminals, but to murder the innocent. And Otto tells her if she doesn't help, they'll both die.
Her hands shake as she receives her instructions. But as she rushes back to the sickbay, searching for a way to escape, her gaze lands on Danner once more. In his eyes, she can see something that almost looks like hope.
The thought of losing her first love again tears Emilie's heart in two. She's determined to keep him alive, and perhaps she can alter the fate of more than just one prisoner. But can she save Danner? Or will she die trying to rescue the man she's never stopped loving?
A heart-wrenching yet hopeful World War Two thriller which will restore your faith in humanity and in the power of love to triumph over evil in the darkest of places. Perfect for fans of The Midwife of Auschwitz, The Choice and The Tattooist of Auschwitz, The Choice.

Shari Ryan wrote this novel with empathy and respect to victims of war, I felt it with every page. I highly recommend this touching book to ALL WWII historical fiction fans.

The story itself was fine, if not a little convoluted and predictable. The whole thing with Dietrich seemed a little far fetched to me (and the way he repeated (whispered) aloud everything somebody else said to to himself first before answering was more than just a “little creepy. I understand the kids in this story were a tight knit group of friends, some since they were three-years—old, but I found it hard to believe Danner and Emilie were professing their undying love for each other so dramatically at the age of 13.
Overall, the book kept me interested enough to want to know how it ended, but I didn’t enjoy this book by Ms. Ryan nearly as much as I did “The Glovemaker’s Daughter.””
