An unforgettable, heart-wrenching World War II novel inspired by the real-life heroes who risked everything to rescue thousands of Jewish children from the Warsaw Ghetto.
In the spring of 1942, fifteen-year-old Elzbieta Rabinek lives a tightly controlled, sheltered life in Nazi-occupied Warsaw. Though she is acutely aware of the German curfews and brutality patrolling her streets, her adoptive parents keep her in the dark about what truly happens behind the massive brick walls containing her Jewish neighbors. But Elzbieta harbors a dangerous secret of her own: she is living under a false identity to protect herself from the regime.
Everything changes when Elzbieta discovers that her neighbor, a nurse named Sara, is secretly part of a daring underground resistance network smuggling children out of the ghetto. Compelled by a fierce sense of duty and the legacy of her birth family, Elzbieta joins the operation, placing herself on the front lines of a perilous game of deception.
