WWII in Germany & France. Noa, a young Dutch girl, is turned out by her family when they find she is pregnant - by a German no less. She is sent to a young girl's "home" where they will help her - by taking her child. Ingrid leaves her family's circus and marries a German officer - even though she's Jewish. This book explores how popular the traveling circuses were at the time and how some of them aided Jews during the occupation. Very good story that will draw you in.
