A fragile refuge in wartime Poland

Set in Nazi-occupied Poland in 1942, the story continues Felix and Zelda’s flight after escaping a death-camp train. With Genia’s help, the two children find a place to live and begin building a family, even as danger remains part of their daily circumstances. The description places survival alongside the work of healing, and highlights family, love, and hope amid the violence and instability of the Holocaust. The question of whether this new home can endure gives the narrative its central tension.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in historical fiction about the Holocaust.
  • Readers seeking a story centered on children’s survival, refuge, and forming a family during wartime.
  • Those interested in themes of healing, family, love, and hope amid political danger.
