deeply moving, dual-timeline World War II novel about survival, buried family secrets, and the enduring power of a young girl’s courage during the Holocaust.
1942, Lvov: Bina Krakowski is only seven years old when the Nazi regime moves to liquidate the ghetto. Escaping into the dark through the city sewers under heavy gunfire, Bina and her mother are separated from her father, leaving them completely on their own. To survive, they must flee into the deep forests, moving from village to village in a desperate search for shelter, never knowing if the next door they knock on belongs to a savior or a betrayer. Through it all, young Bina documents every harrowing moment in a secret notebook, promising to record the absolute truth of what she witnesses.
