About this listen
An incredible, moving story about a little-known part of history, featuring the true experiences of the author’s father.
Weary of the ravages of World War II, seventeen-year-old Nada is no stranger to loss. Her father was killed by the Ustaše – a fascist, Croatian regime working to cleanse Yugoslavia of Serbs – and the boy she secretly loves, Henrik, abandoned her to join the Partizan resistance. It’s why Nada holds tighter to those she cares about. So when she discovers her mother and sisters were ripped from their home by the Ustaše, Nada has to do something.
Desperate to get her family back, Nada tracks down the Partizan resistance to enlist their help. It’s there, deep in the forest, she stumbles upon Henrik, but he’s changed. Callous and cold, he thwarts her hopes of a rescue mission at every turn…until he catches Nada sneaking off to save her family by herself. He has no choice now but to go with her and fight to keep her alive.
With their sights set on Jasenovac – the Ustašes’ sadistic death camp – a perilous journey lies ahead of them. If they fail to infiltrate the regime leader’s home, steal a map of the camp, break into Jasenovac and escape with her loved ones, Nada will lose what remains of her family…forever.
