In Rebecca Cantrell's A City of Broken Glass, journalist
Hannah Vogel is in Poland with her son Anton to cover the
1938 St. Martin festival when she hears that 12,000 Polish
Jews have been deported from Germany. Hannah drops
everything to get the story on the refugees, and walks
directly into danger.
Kidnapped by the SS, and driven across the German border,
Hannah is rescued by Anton and her lover, Lars Lang, who she
had presumed dead two years before. Hannah doesn’t know if
she can trust Lars again, with her heart or with her life,
but she has little choice. Injured in the escape attempt and
wanted by the Gestapo, Hannah and Anton are trapped with
Lars in Berlin. While Hannah works on an exit strategy, she
helps to search for Ruth, the missing toddler of her Jewish
friend Paul, who was disappeared during the deportation.
Trapped in Nazi Germany with her son just days before
Kristallnacht, the Night of Broken Glass, Hannah knows the
dangers of staying any longer than needed. But she can’t
turn her back on this one little girl, even if it plunges
her and her family into danger.
I recently started re-reading about WWII. I used to read about it all the time & for some reason drifted away. I would love an opportunity to win this book. It sounds like a "edge-of-your seat" page turner.
Have a wonderful day & contest. God bless. (Pat Moore 1:24pm September 17, 2012)
