MY THOUGHTS:
Germany 1943, Margaret Rosenbaum is living in a mansion in northern Germany. She is living as Annegret Huber after a bombing raid. She went from being a Jew to the heiress of a family fortune. But when she realizes that part of her inheritance includes a factory and a Nazi prison camp, she decides she must do more. She has done everything she can to help reduce the suffering of the prisoners. She has to help the prisoners escape so that they can survive. She is the only one that can lead them to safety and freedom. An escape route through Sweden is the only possible option she has. Then she meets Stefan, and she immediately feels a connection with, however, he doesn’t trust her. She must continue on with her mission to save as many people as possible from Hitler’s regime.
This story was so, heartbreaking and so beautifully written. The story was absolutely heart pounding and so gripping that I couldn’t find a spot to stop reading. I devoured this book and I was so heartbroken at the detailed description of what happened in the camps. The stories of the courage and determination that people had, to survive such a horrific time, always amazes and inspires me. This phenomenal story is one that will stay with you forever. I absolutely loved it and I absolutely recommend this book. Every historical fiction fan must read this one.
Thank you Marion Kummerow for a wonderful, phenomenal story. I was completely captivated from the first page to the last. I highly recommend this book.

1943, Germany: Two years ago, fate gave a beautiful young Jewish woman named Margarete Rosenbaum the chance to survive the Nazis, by pretending to be one of them, hiding in plain sight. Now she must make a terrifying decision…
Margarete lives as Annegret Huber would have, in a beautiful rural mansion by a forest in northern Germany. She is the heiress to the entire Huber fortune—one which she has devastatingly discovered includes a factory and Nazi prison camp. Margarete has done everything she can to help improve conditions there, and to reduce suffering for the prisoners who remind her so much of her own lost family and friends.
However, as the war rages on and the Nazi party becomes more brutal in its treatment of Jews, she realizes she must do more. She has to help the prisoners escape to real safety, because they will never be safe in Hitler’s Germany.
She’s heard of a route to freedom through Sweden. Although that means secretly reaching out to the resistance. With the risk of betrayal at every turn, her enquiries lead her to a man named Stefan, who she instantly feels a powerful connection to. But she fears he will never trust her… unless she reveals the secret that keeps her safe.
At the same time, a Nazi officer begins to show romantic interest in her, making it harder to keep her identity a secret. His loyalty to the party is beyond question, so if he finds her out, not only will her plan be at risk, but also her life and those of everyone she cares for.
But can she let that fear stop her from saving others? Because she knows she herself could so easily be one of the faces on the other side of the fence. And that, in the darkest times, sometimes the only person who can rise up is the girl in the shadows…
