"Sophia Alexander has had to grow up faster than most young women, taking care of her younger sister, her father and ill mother, and the household during Hitler's rise to power. First, her mother dies, then Sophia assists her sister's daring escape from Germany with her husband's family, and then even her father is gone, arrested and sent to a concentration camp. Sophia is truly on her own, but determined to help the resistance. Working as a nurse at a convent, Sophia continues her harrowing efforts to transport Jewish children to safety. As the political tensions rise and the brutal oppression continues, Sophia is undeterred, risking it all, even her own freedom, as she rises to the challenge of helping those in need--no matter the cost"-- Provided by publisher.
