Berlin, Germany, 1930βWhen the Nazis riseΒ to power, Sofie von Meyer Rhodes and her academic husband benefit from the military ambitions of Germanyβs newly elected chancellor when JΓΌrgen is offeredΒ a high-level position in their burgeoning rocket program.Β Although they fiercely oppose Hitlerβs radical views, and joining his ranks is unthinkable, it soon becomes clear that if JΓΌrgen does not accept the job,Β their income willΒ be taken away. Then their children. AndΒ then their lives.
Huntsville, Alabama, 1950βTwenty years later, JΓΌrgen is one of many German scientists pardoned and granted a position in Americaβs space program. For Sofie, this is a chance to leave the horrors of her past behind. But when rumors about the Rhodes familyβs affiliation with the Nazi party spread among her new American neighbors, idle gossip turns to bitter rage, and the act of violence that results tears apart a family and leaves the community wonderingβis it an act of vengeance or justice?
