Ana's War
Description
In the Summer of 1941, the Nazis invaded her land, killed her friends, and eradicated the "Untermensch" in all the villages. In the Summer of 1942, the Partisans took everything else she had left.
Sixteen-year-old Ana Belova is now an orphan, but she has a particular set of skills. She can hold a rifle steady and has a calm trigger finger. More importantly, she can take her torment and rage and focus them into resolve-exactly the qualities needed of a sniper-and the Red Army just created the world's first all-female sniper school.
The baggy men's uniforms, the misogyny around a predominantly male role, and her own wounded heart; Ana must overcome them all to exact her revenge. As the training intensifies, she finds peace behind the rifle scope, a false sense of security that may just keep her alive long enough to see her through her first battle: Stalingrad. If she makes it, she has a chance at the impossible-find the Partisans who killed her parents.
Ana was a victim, then a survivor, and now a fighter. In the most hateful war humanity has ever known, a teenage girl from a tiny farming village in Ukraine is about to unleash hell upon the Wehrmacht, and when needed, on her own people.
