This book is set in Berlin, Germany at the beginning of WW2. Hitler has begun his ethnic cleansing of Germany by removing Jews. Sophia and Theresa's father is a prominent surgeon with his own private hospital. A Nazi officer visits him and asks him to participate in eliminating Jews. He refuses. Theresa marries into a wealthy family. She and her husband ended up fleeing to Switzerland after it's discovered he has a small amount of Jewish blood. Sophia cannot leave her father as the destruction of Berlin continues. Sophia becomes even more of an activist. After her father is taken to a concentration camp, she enters a convent of nuns.
Will Sophia remain a nun? Will she every find love? This is an intriguing story, one of the WW2 stories I have not yet heard. It is a very intriguing story. Don't miss this one!
