Germany, 1937. Fear and betrayal stalk the streets. People disappear. Persecution of the Jews has become a national pastime. When Ruth Friedman's husband is arrested by the SS, she is left to fend for herself and her four children. She alone stands as their shield against the Nazis. But where can she go? Where will her family be safe? Ruth must overcome the indifference, hatred and cruelty that surrounds her as she and her family race to escape the advancing Nazi army's final solution.

Well told and very sad. It breaks my heart to think people were treated that way but they were and I’m sure things were actually even worse than portrayed. Nobody should ever be treated that way. Truly heartbreaking.

Great Story

Heartbreaking, gripping and a great story. It was compelling and a real ‘page turner’ in n audio format.

Listened to this book over the course of a couple of days as it was hard to put down. A heart wrenching story with great characterisation and suspense, yet historically accurate to general events. Beautifully narrated.

Excellent in every way. Highly recommended
