Publisher's summary

She has a secret. Keeping it will mean the difference between life and death.

1941, Poland. Though war rages around her and occupying German forces march steadily onward, 16-year-old Aleksandra has lived her life sheltered from danger.

Until one day, she goes to school—never to return.

Pushed roughly into a truck with other schoolgirls like her, a single ominous word tells her all she needs to know about her fate: Lebensborn.

Lebensborn, the infamous German “voluntary reproduction” program—rumored to involve the abduction of blond-haired, blue-eyed girls and forcing them to bear the children of Nazi soldiers.

But when their convoy is bombed en route to Berlin, Aleksandra and the girls see their chance to escape. In a foreign land, far from home, they know their survival depends on keeping their identities a secret.

Resourceful and determined not to be discovered, Aleksandra takes a job as a nurse in the German city of Dresden. Just as she starts to think she might live to see the end of the war, her carefully crafted secret begins to unravel. Aleksandra knows that if she ever wants to see her home and family again, she will have to risk it all—on her own.

Good Story

Enjoyed the story overall, but felt it was missing some details and some parts could have been more developed. A good, casual listen.

Not a fan of the ending

After all she had been through, I was just wanting a difficult ending. Loved the rest of the story.

Great Story

Great story. I listened nonstop for two days, only stopping to sleep. This story is captivating and filled with heart tugging situations.

Story was good reading wasn’t

I feel as if the reader of the audio book needs to listen to others so they can properly pronounce things.

The courage of the characters

I did not the end when she left her baby in Germany. Too sad for my enjoyment. Everything else was so courageous. Why not that?

Good story. Cop-out ending. Unless there us a sequel.

It was a good story until the last couple of chapters. Ugh. Really? Predictable, but disappointing none the less.

The ending sucked and made no sense at all

Such a horrible ending. I will never read this author again. Very disappointing- immature writing. Unrealistic.
