Iscriviti per consentire a LibraryThing di scoprire se ti piacerà questo libro. Attualmente non vi sono conversazioni su questo libro. I am at a loss for words. This book is so good. And saying that sounds so lame. I was changed by reading this book. It touched my heart & soul. The characters were so well developed. The story flowed beautifully. The author brought it to life, this story lives & breathes. It’s a wonderful historical novel that has a great message. The message from the past, such as, hatred, race, religion, is just as relevant today as then. We were all created by God and not one of us is a mistake. We should not take any life for granted. Life is precious and even though this book is fiction, the author did her research and brought real events and feelings to life and we should heed the warnings. I highly recommend this book and please read the Epilogue and the Note to Readers. You may need the tissues handy, this book will grip you and not let go, and all the while I'm wondering how can some people be so cold hearted? Through the eyes of the author we find those who are willing to give everything to help save another life. Why, is this happening, there are many answers and we will probably never know why some would do the evil that they do, but there are those who really live their faith, and we are there to see their ultimate sacrifice. Be sure to read the author's notes at the end of this book, I love how the author put so much truth and actual people in this read. I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Tyndale, and was not required to give a positive review. The other reviewers did a good job outlining the plot so I'll just say I loved this book. I think Jason was my favorite character, with Amelie coming in at a close second. The author described the tenseness of living in Germany with Nazi soldiers and Hitler Youth breathing down your neck, sometimes literally. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Increasingly wary of her father's genetic research, Rachel Kramer has determined that this trip with him to Germany-in the summer of 1939-will be her last. But a cryptic letter from her estranged friend, begging Rachel for help, changes everything. Married to SS officer Gerhardt Schlick, Kristine sees the dark tides turning and fears her husband views their daughter, Amelie, deaf since birth, as a blight on his Aryan bloodline. Once courted by Schlick, Rachel knows he's as dangerous as the swastikas that hang like ebony spiders from every government building in Berlin. She fears her father's files may hold answers about Hitler's plans for others, like Amelie, whom the regime deems "unworthy of life." She risks searching his classified documents only to uncover shocking secrets about her own history and a family she's never known. Now hunted by the SS, Rachel turns to Jason Young-a driven, disarming American journalist and unlikely ally-who connects her to the resistance and to controversial theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Forced into hiding, Rachel's every ideal is challenged as she and Jason walk a knife's edge, risking their lives-and asking others to do the same-for those they barely know but come to love.
