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... They wanted our children to raise as their own 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...

      A mother's love for her child should never be underestimated. This is true of Anna Dankova, who is struggling to keep her daughter and family safe in Prague during the Nazi occupation of her homeland. Her husband and brother-in-law have joined the Resistance and she has not seen them in years, as she and her sister Dasa struggle to keep themselves, their children, and their mother alive. Almost all of their resources have been stolen by the Germans, and they have no income. They have heard rumors of the Nazis kidnapping Czech children who have German features to be given to German women and raised as their own. Anna and Dasa are not sure if these rumors are true, until a Brown Sister, a Nazi nurse, takes interest in Dasa's children. Dasa's response to the Brown Sister puts the entire family in more danger, and when Anna's daughter is taken, she risks everything to get her back. VERDICT Newton's latest historical novel (following The Girls from the Beach) brings to light the kidnapping of Czech children during World War II. Readers who like this genre will enjoy.--Laura Ellis
