About this listen

An unforgettable and utterly heartbreaking World War Two story

Maggie’s hands tremble as she lowers her camera, unable to bear the little girl’s haunted eyes pleading at her from behind the gates. This camp is hell on earth. And this roll of film is enough for the Nazis to kill her. But she won’t rest until the world knows the truth…

Germany, 1944: Nazi banners blowing in the wind, Maggie Sullivan takes her first steps into enemy territory. Armed only with a camera and a US press pass, Maggie never backs down from danger. But close to her heart is a secret; one that she can never share. Maggie was born in Germany. Years ago, she and her mother were forced to flee Berlin, leaving her siblings behind. The US Army are Maggie’s protectors for now, but she wakes each night in a cold sweat wondering: what will they do if they discover her past?

Every day Maggie works tirelessly to prove the horrifying truth about what Nazis are doing in the camps. But inching closer to the barbed wire, an inscription on an officer’s report grips her with an ice-like fear. Her family’s name. She’s desperate to know more, but it would risk her entire mission. She must save the innocents, even if it means letting the secrets of her own past slip through her fingers…

Then the unthinkable happens. Just as she snaps her first shot of the camp, Maggie feels rough hands snatch the camera from her grip. Someone knows about her secret, and if she’s captured, her photos will never leave Germany. As Maggie fights to prove her innocence, will her story be lost forever? Can she survive long enough to help free the prisoners in the camp and heal the trauma of her past?

Fans of The Tattooist of Auschwitz, The Alice Network and The Choice will be completely captivated by this emotional and heart-stopping story. This unforgettable story of family, courage and heartbreak will show you how anyone can find the strength to stand up for what is right.
