THE RUNAWAY FAMILY was previously published as EVIL ON THE WIND.



From bestselling author Diney Costeloe, a gritty drama about a mother's struggle to protect her family and escape Nazi persecution in World War Two Germany.



Germany 1937: Fear and betrayal stalk the streets. People disappear. Persecution of the Jews has become a national pastime.



When Ruth Friedman's husband is arrested by the SS, she is left to fend for herself and her four children. She alone stands as their shield against the Nazis. But where can she go? Where will her family be safe?



Ruth must overcome the indifference, hatred and cruelty that surrounds her as she and her family race to escape the advancing Nazi army's final solution.

Heartbreaking

This is a beautifully written book, however the atrocities carried out by the Germans were hard to swallow.
Very difficult to understand how people could treat fellow human beings the way their did.
It was a little too real for me, but if you are interested in how the Jews were treated in Germany prior to the war you will find this book a great read.
