In the aftermath of war, one woman's courage is truly tested.
Germany, 1945. Elsa Kalbach was raised to be the perfect daughter. But as her world collapses from years of war, she is forced to confront the cost of the lies she was taught to believe.
With the Russian Army advancing, Elsa flees her ruined hometown carrying an abandoned Jewish child - and no one left to trust.
Then she discovers Sam, a wounded British soldier hiding in a barn. Her enemy by uniform, Elsa knows she should turn him in.
Instead, she saves him.
Sam becomes her secret and her risk - the only person she can rely on. And, as they travel through a land shattered by war, a fragile bond begins to grow that neither of them expected . . . or can afford.
In the ruins of a country built on obedience, loving Sam becomes Elsa's quiet rebellion.
But when the guns finally fall silent, Elsa and Sam will face the hardest question of all: can love survive the ruins of war - and the pasts they cannot escape?
A powerful wartime romance of forbidden love, moral courage, and hope born in the darkest of times. Perfect for fans of Soraya M. Lane, Kate Quinn, Rachel Hore and Kristin Hannah.
