Publisher Description

From the USA Today bestselling author comes a gripping new emotional WW2 historical novel. Inspired by a true story!

‘Easily my favorite historical novel of the year If you love WWII fiction, this is a must read’ Soraya M. Lane, Amazon Charts bestselling author of Wives of War and The Last Correspondent

Rumours of the Nazis coming for Czech children swept through the villages like a breeze through the trees, and the story was always the same…

Since her husband, Josef, joined the Czech resistance three years ago, Anna Dankova has done everything possible to keep her daughter, Ema, safe. But when blonde haired, blue-eyed Ema is ripped from her mother’s arms in the local marketplace by the dreaded Brown Sisters, nurses who were dedicated to Hitler’s cause, Anna is forced to go to new extremes to take back what the Nazis have stolen from her.

Going undercover as a devoted German subject eager to prove her worth to the Reich, the former actress takes on a role of a lifetime to find and save her daughter. But getting close to Ema is one thing. Convincing her that the Germans are lying when they claim Anna stole her from her true parents is another…
