One woman's determination to protect a child from
the dangers of war will force her to face those lurking
closer to home…
Life in rural Poland during WWII brings a new set of
challenges to Maria, estranged from her own family and left
alone with her in-laws after her husband is sent to the
front. For a young, newly pregnant wife, the days are
especially cold, the nights unexpectedly lonely. The
discovery of a girl hiding in the barn changes
everything—Hannah is fleeing the German police who are
taking Jews like her to special camps. Ignoring the risk to
her own life and that of her unborn child, Maria is
compelled to help. But in these dark days, no one can be
trusted, and soon Maria finds her courage tested in ways she
never expected and herself facing truths about her own
family that the quiet village has kept buried for years…
From the international bestselling author of The
Kommandant's Girl comes a searing historical companion
novella to The Winter Guest
