Description

Abducted as a young child and raised deep in the Polish wilderness, Yona grows into a resourceful young woman who knows the forest as her only home. When World War II reaches the surrounding villages, she begins sheltering Jewish refugees fleeing the Nazis, using her hard-won knowledge of the land to help them survive. As danger closes in, Yona must confront the painful mysteries of her past while navigating loyalty, courage, and the bonds formed in the darkest of times. A moving historical novel about resilience, compassion, and the extraordinary ways ordinary people resist oppression.
