What an excellent book that said the hard things the right way.
Elsie is turning 17 in Germany in 1945. She is the Baker's Daughter. Her sister Hazel is away at, Lebensborn, the government breeding center to create a perfect offspring and nation.
Elsie accepts a marriage proposal to a Nazi soldier that she doesnt love, but to protect her family.
On Christmas Eve, a terrible night for Elsie, she also ends up saving a small jewish boy's life Tobias, by hiding him in her house and wall. Her family doesnt know.
This 1945 story comes to light because REBA, a reporter needs some background info on German Christmas Holiday Celebrations. Elsie, and her Daughter Jane get way off track of the original purpose of meeting, and become fast friends and confidants.
Reba is engaged to Riki Chavez who is a border patrol agent.
I dont want to give too much more away but really all the characters, Reba, Riki, Jane, and Reba's family, seem to grow and they decide to become true to themselves. Elsie did it long ago back in 1945.
There are many letters written between the characters. I really found the print of the letters to be small and difficult to read. But they were so full of details and info, you cant skip them.
