Hour of the Wolf

Nightmares provide a frightening portal to the past for a young woman on the brink of adulthood in this time-slip novel about courage in the face of unspeakable evil.

In the summer after graduation Jodie Graham is plagued by dreams of a city with cobblestone streets where she follows an old woman through early morning fog. During the day she works at a pizzeria in Chicago and hangs out with friends while waiting for college to start, but in the dead of night her dreams transport her to another time and place where she senses something terrible is about to happen.

At first she doesn’t know what threatens the city with the cobblestone streets and the people who live there. The old woman she follows through the fog wants her to save a young boy, and there are other children who need saving as well. But how is she to save them in an unfamiliar city where danger lurks all around? Only when the dreams grow more ominous does she realize what threatens is the horror of the Holocaust.

But why is she dreaming about the Holocaust, and who in her own time will believe she is flung back into the past when she dreams? As she scrambles for answers, the danger escalates, and it becomes increasingly urgent not only to save the children but to figure out how to stop the dreams before she becomes one more victim of the Holocaust.
