Synopsis

A companion to Making Bombs for Hitler and The War Below, this novel follows a Ukrainian girl who was kidnapped as a child to be raised by a Nazi family.\r\nNadia is haunted by World War II. Her memories of the war are messy, coming back to her in pieces and flashes she can\'t control. Though her adoptive mother says they are safe now, Nadia\'s flashbacks keep coming.\r\n\r\nSometimes she remembers running, hunger, and isolation. But other times she remembers living with a German family, and attending big rallies where she was praised for her light hair and blue eyes. The puzzle pieces don\'t quite fit together, and Nadia is scared by what might be true. Could she have been raised by Nazis? Were they her real family? What part did she play in the war?\r\n\r\nWhat Nadia finally discovers about her own history will shock her. But only when she understands the past can she truly face her future.\r\n\r\nInspired by startling true events, Marsha Forchuk Skrypuch delivers a gripping and poignant story of one girl\'s determination to uncover her truth.
