Overview: Amid wartime brutality and unimaginable suffering, a teenager in flight from the Soviet Army struggles to survive, find her brother—and hold on to hope . . .
Winter 1945. The Red Army is sweeping into East Prussia, and they have their sights set on punishing Germans for the Nazis’ reign of terror.
Thirteen-year-old Giti and her younger brother, Otto, live with their mother and grandmother. After soldiers arrive and brutally attack the two adult women, killing their grandmother, the farm is set ablaze and the children, along with their severely wounded mother, are loaded into a crowded train bound for the Soviet Union.
When their mother tragically dies on the train, the two children are thrust into a dark world, orphaned and terrified. Giti is determined to lead them to freedom, but her escape plan goes horribly wrong. While she manages to jump from the train, Otto gets trapped and is left alone heading north.
