About this listen
In the spring of 1942, young Elzbieta Rabinek is aware of the swiftly growing discord just beyond the courtyard of her comfortable Warsaw home. But she has no idea what goes on behind the walls of the Jewish Ghetto nearby until she makes a discovery that propels her into a dangerous world of deception and heroism.
Elzbieta comes face to face with the plight of the Gorka family who must give up their newborn daughter - or watch her starve. For Roman Gorka, this final injustice stirs in him a rebellion not even his newfound love for Elzbieta can suppress. His recklessness puts their families in harm's way until one violent act threatens to destroy their chance at freedom forever.
Kelly Rimmer, bestselling Australian author of Truths I Never Told You and The Things We Cannot Say, has penned her most meticulously researched and emotionally compelling novel to date.

Amazing Story!
Could not put it down! So well written and narrated. The love, willingness, strength, courage, and commitment of family in such hard and unbeilable times.
If you have ancestors who experienced WW11 … it’s a must read. My first Kelly Rimmer book. I will be reading many more.

When the Holocaust takes us into the heart of survival
Reminds me of a book I wrote called ‘Heroes of the Secret Underground’ - except i wrote it for young people. This is for adults and I find it powerful. It goes to the heart of survival.
