The Orphan's Tale

Description

Cast out by her family after a forbidden pregnancy during the Nazi occupation of Holland, seventeen-year-old Noa finds work and shelter at a German train station—only to discover a horrifying secret that changes the course of her life. When she rescues an infant from a transport bound for a concentration camp, Noa is taken in by a traveling circus and trained as an aerialist while hiding the child and her own identity. There, she forms a fragile, complicated bond with Astrid, a Jewish aerialist whose past and loyalties threaten to divide them. Set against the brutality of war, this gripping historical novel explores friendship, sacrifice, courage, and the redemptive power of hope.
