What a remarkable book!! A young woman does what she has to do in order for her and her baby daughter to survive WWII in Weimar Germany. Years later the daughter becomes a teacher of German history in Minneapolis with a particular interest in women during WWII. Her mother is now in her 70's and has never spoken about her experiences with her daughter. The themes of love, sacrifice and family secrets run through the story along with the emotions involved in understanding the difference between heroism and collaboration.
