When ferrying an Allied fighter plane from Paris to England, American ATA pilot and amateur poet Rose Justice is captured by the Nazis and sent to Ravensbrück, the notorious women's concentration camp. There she meets an unforgettable group of women, including a once glamorous French novelist whose Jewish husband and three young sons have been killed; a resilient young Polish girl who has been used as a human guinea pig by Nazi doctors; and a female fighter pilot and military ace for the Soviet air force. Trapped in this bleak place under horrific circumstances, Rose finds hope in the impossible through the loyalty, bravery, and friendship of these fellow prisoners. But will hope be enough to enable Rose to endure the fate that is in store for her? Elizabeth Wein, author of the critically acclaimed Code Name Verity, delivers another stunning World War II thriller in this compaion novel. The riveting story of Rose Justice is forged from heart-wrenching courage, resolve, and the slim, bright chance of survival. --
