Auschwitz, 1944. Halina clutches the baby to her chest, cuddling her close for warmth. She must keep moving. Her heart pounds as she races through the thick trees. If she's caught, this is the end-for both of them...

Walking to work at the orphanage she was raised in, Halina tries to ignore the imposing gates of Auschwitz nearby. She has one dream: to survive the war and find out who her parents were. But one morning, a Nazi officer with icy eyes blocks her way. He needs a new nanny, and he gives Halina a choice: serve in his home, or be sent to the camp...

In the enemy's world, one wrong step could land Halina in prison-or worse. But she pledges to do good while trapped amongst evil and protect the innocence of the children in her care, especially sweet baby Flora. And when she meets Gavriel-a Jewish prisoner forced into hard labor in the officer's home, with the kindest eyes she's ever seen-she knows she'll risk everything to keep him safe.

But then one day, Halina discovers a letter hidden in the book her mother left with her as a baby. She always wanted to know who she really was-yet that knowledge has plunged her into unimaginable danger.

Because the letter reveals that her mother was Jewish. And Halina is working in the enemy's home, just a stone's throw from the prison they'd lock her in if they knew the truth. She must find a way out, to save Gavriel's life, as well as her own...

An unputdownable, addictive World War Two page-turner which will make your heart sing with hope even as you reach for the tissues. Perfect for fans of The Midwife of Auschwitz, The Choice and The Tattooist of Auschwitz.

"Oh my word!!!... Left me with so many emotions... Had me grabbing tissues and looking for all the comfort foods... Had me on the edge of my seat." Goodreads reviewer, ?????

"Totally gripping... I couldn't put it down... Amazed me... Fast-paced, packed with tense moments, and full of emotion-I cried more than once!... Kept me on the edge of my seat... A must-read." NetGalley reviewer, ?????
