Nazi-occupied Prague, 1942: Amelia is hiding in her closet when flashlights blind her and she's captured by the SS. Out on the cobblestone street, her heart shatters as her mother is shot before her eyes. She is shoved onto a freight train with hundreds of others-hours pass as they travel in darkness. Arriving in a concentration camp, Amelia fears for her life when she is led to a block by a soldier. He is her enemy, yet he secretly passes her a piece of bread; an act that saves her. They are meant to despise one another, but Amelia and Charlie are powerfully drawn to each other. Amelia sees how Charlie risks everything to save prisoners from deportation-and she sees the kindness in his eyes. Amongst so much tragedy, falling in love is a miracle. Yet, one day, Charlie utters those miraculous words. "I'm in love with you. To everyone else, we're wrong, but what does that matter when nothing in this world is right?" But under the all-seeing gaze of the guards and endless watchtowers, there is only so long they can keep their secret-and the very act of loving each other endangers their lives. Will they remain loyal to each other in the face of death? And when they finally say goodbye, will it be by choice or by force? -- Amazon.com
