Tragedy and terror threaten one brave Jewish girl during the Holocaust in this inspiring war story about never giving up.
Fourteen-year-old Rivka Resnik survives the brutal massacre of her family in Lithuania, only to spend the rest of the war fighting as a partisan against Nazi forces and languishing as a prisoner in Auschwitz. Finally rescued and sent to America, Rivka soon faces the SS officer who commanded the death squads that murdered her family. Now, it is Rivka's turn to become the hunter.
In this historical thriller set during the Holocaust, author Tom Reppert masterfully depicts one young woman's harrowing experiences across Europe and the United States.
...Over the course of this book, Reppert vividly re-creates the unspeakable atrocities of the Holocaust in Rivka's story of survival, most of which the character narrates herself. Before readers' eyes, this tender heroine transforms into a fierce angel of death, working with the underground and meticulously exacting revenge. But the narrative also focuses on the unique anguish of survivors starting over in a new world--in Rivka's case, in New York City. Although the story is fictional, Reppert has clearly done his research, and there's enough historical detail here to engage readers as they read of one chilling experience after another, often at a breathless pace. A gripping rendition of a tragic era buoyed by a powerful protagonist. -- Kirkus Reviews
Riveting suspense from beginning to end. I highly recommend The Light at Midnight.
--Ken Fischman, author of Brooklyn Boy and Sleeping with Wolves
Characters draw you into their lives. A captivating story.
--Deborah A. Elster, author of Only from Heaven
