This book was previously published as No Woman\'s Land.
Based on a true story, this powerful novel shows that love is stronger than terror, and that when life takes everything from you, death is not to be feared...
Fans of The Tattooist of Auschwitz, The Choice, and The Orphan Train will be completely gripped by this heartbreaking tale.
But in a World of such danger, daring to love is the most dangerous risk of all...
Wilhem promises that she will survive, even if the cost is his life.
When Ilse meets Wilhem, a local SS administrative officer, she never dreams that her greatest rebellion will be falling for him.
But this is just the beginning...
Ilse\'s first act of defiance is smuggling from the munitions factory, slipping bullets into the lining of her pockets.
Yet the prisoners in the ghetto refuse to give up--the underground resistance is plotting their escape.
Sentenced for the crime of simply existing, she doesn\'t expect to live past the summer.
This is Ilse\'s new home: trapped by barbed wire, surrounded by SS guards she is forbidden to look in the eye, with no choice but to trade the last of her belongings for scraps of food.
Now, at the break of dawn, she steps off the cattle train into a Minsk ghetto.
A year ago, she had her freedom.
A year ago, her parents were alive, not yet killed by their own countrymen.
A year ago, she wasn\'t forced to wear a star on her clothes.
For Ilse life is unrecognizable.
