Description
In Nazi-occupied Poland in 1940, twin sisters Helena and Ruth struggle to protect their three younger siblings after their father’s death and their mother’s hospitalization. When Helena discovers an injured American soldier hiding in the nearby woods, the family is drawn into the widening realities of war—and into choices that test their courage, loyalty, and ability to survive. As danger closes in, first love, jealousy, and betrayal complicate the sisters’ desperate efforts to keep one another safe. Informed by Pam Jenoff’s experience in Kraków and her work in military and diplomatic affairs, this emotionally charged historical novel explores family, sacrifice, and the moral cost of staying silent.
