Description
"Raya bends over a delicate glove in her beloved shop in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower. It's the only place she still feels safe. When the Nazis snatched control of Paris, Raya knew she had to fight to protect the few things she had left. And so far, her support of the resistance has gone undetected. But now, the door bangs open and three German soldiers lunge towards her. Raya's blood turns to ice. Hauled onto the cobbled street, she struggles against their rough hands as they accuse her of organizing meetings in the tunnels below her shop. Raya can think only of her baby daughter Amalia, hidden beneath the shop's front desk. She has a heart-wrenching choice to make. Reveal Amalia's existence and risk her life, or leave her behind and pray someone protects her. It's the hardest decision she's ever faced... Transported to Ravensbruck concentration camp, every day is a desperate battle for survival. The only thing that keeps Raya going is the thought of being reunited with her blue-eyed, innocent baby girl. But did someone with a kind soul uncover Amalia's hiding place and keep her safe? And in the darkest of places, is the power of a mother's love enough to keep Raya alive until she can see her daughter again?"--
