Publisher's Summary
Dachau, 1942. Emilie has been told she's here to nurse evil men. But the first patient she sees in the cold, dark room is hauntingly familiar. Her first love is not wicked. He couldn't be. What is he doing here?
Emilie's heart stops as she takes in her childhood sweetheart hunched in a tattered prisoners uniform, the light lost from his face. Her new husband, Otto, said this was a camp for criminals. He should know, he's the doctor. But Danner would never have broken the law.
As she looks into Danner's beautiful brown eyes, she's transported back to their happy childhood in Munich. The friendship they shared. The way her heart once felt like it beat only for him. Before the Jewish laws were enforced and Danner pushed Emilie away to protect her, breaking her heart.
Now, Emilie rushes to find Otto, desperate for answers. But when she discovers him waiting with confidentiality papers for her to sign, she realizes her husband has been lying. This isn't a place to treat sick criminals, but to murder the innocent. And Otto tells her if she doesn't help, they'll both die.
Her hands shake as she receives her instructions. But as she rushes back to the sickbay, searching for a way to escape, her gaze lands on Danner once more. In his eyes, she can see something that almost looks like hope.
The thought of losing her first love again tears Emilie's heart in two. She's determined to keep him alive, and perhaps she can alter the fate of more than just one prisoner. But can she save Danner? Or will she die trying to rescue the man she's never stopped loving?
A heart-wrenching yet hopeful World War Two thriller which will restore your faith in humanity and in the power of love to triumph over evil in the darkest of places. Perfect for fans of The Midwife of Auschwitz, The Choice and The Tattooist of Auschwitz, The Choice.

That Such Horror Could Exist
A tragic story of enduring love. An horrific story that must be told over & over, so that it never happens again. One wonders how fear could allow it to happen.

A lovely story that could have been a great audiobook…
Why on earth would the publisher of this book choose to have a story, predominantly in a German concentration camp, featuring German or in some cases Polish people, read by two narrators with awful upper class English accents?!!
To make matters worse both of them were dreadful ‘actors’ over dramatising unnecessarily even when it wasn’t needed for the story. I’m sure I even heard an attempt to portray a German soldier who sounded like he came from the north of England!
This was a book about German people and a tragic time in German history… when describing a hardworking, tireless, dedicated nurse why was she compared to Florence Nightingale, a British social reformer, credited as being the founder of modern nursing?!
I could go on but I think I’ve said enough…
