1939. Vienna, Austria. Life was as close to perfect for medical doctor Johann Goetz, his artist wife Sybilla, and their three children . . . until the world went stark raving mad.
As Nazi propaganda seeps into the fibers of Vienna, families and neighbors are pitted against one another, and hatred brews until the tensions erupt on the night of Kristallnacht. But Jewish families like the Goetzs know that the madness is only beginning.
Word of the deadly program against the Jews of Europe spreads far and wide, even to the quaint Amish farm belonging to Joseph Jotter’s family in Lancaster County. The idea of neighbors hating neighbors is a foreign concept in Amish country, and Joseph finds himself asking God to show him how he can help the Jewish people of Europe.
First off, let me just say Wow! This book was amazing. I was hooked from the start. It’s a little different than what I’m used to from Sara--I love all of her books--but knowing the basis of this historical tale was plucked from our own family tree made the story even more poignant. I read it straight through in one sitting and absolutely can’t wait for the next book in the series.
