About this listen
Auschwitz, 1941: It was her father’s job to save the lives of the SS. But she chose to risk everything and save the lives of prisoners.
In Nazi-occupied Poland, Sofia cannot look her father in the eye. Sofia’s mother, her papa’s cherished wife, is Jewish—how dare he work as a doctor for the SS? She cannot forgive him, even if the bargain was made to spare their lives.
In the middle of the night, Isaac emerges from a packed train with hundreds of others. Beneath Auschwitz’s barbed wire, soldiers surround them, and gunshots pierce the dark sky. The SS decide prisoners’ fates on the spot—and Isaac is chosen to work, rather than to die.
Every day, Isaac and his fellow inmates are sent to a nearby farm. From sunup to sundown, they toil the land with barely a scrap to eat. Every breath feels like it could be Isaac’s last, so when he sees a beautiful auburn-haired girl peering out of the farmhouse window, it feels like a dream....
Sofia refuses to accept what she is seeing. Disobeying her father and evading the guards, she risks her life to sneak a letter to the green-eyed boy outside. She explains that she has hidden them food and that she’ll do everything in her power to save them.
This secret exchange sparks an escape that should have been impossible—and a love story that is unforgettable. But is love enough in the face of evil? And when Sofia and Isaac are concealed underground, holding their breath as the Nazis hunt them, will they survive?
Fans of The Tattooist of Auschwitz, The Choice, and Orphan Train will be utterly gripped by this heartbreaking tale. This tear-jerker shows that even if your freedom has been robbed and your loved ones torn from you, nobody can steal your hope....

Great story
Great story on how a family survived during such a difficult time. It was quite long for what it was and I found it jumped in places between two or three different people but overall it was a good book.

A bit dull.
I was disappointed by the lack of detail that makes some Holocaust novels so memorable and genuinely heartbreaking. And the factual inaccuracies. There were of course sad parts in the book, but I couldn't engage with the characters, so didn't find this heartbreaking as described. It's a shame, because this could have been a realistic and deeply moving WW2 story if the author had done more research and had been encouraged to make it more realistic.
