But it is even worse for her Jewish best friend, Ellen, as the Nazis continue their brutal campaign. With Ellen?s life in danger, Annemarie must summon all her courage to help stage a daring escape.
Inspired by true events of the Second World War, this gripping novel brings the past vividly to life for today?s readers.
