Bookroo's summary

In a post-WWII displaced persons camp, sisters Krystia and Maria face a new nightmare. Accused of being Nazi collaborators, they are taken by Soviet forces. Despite their resistance during the war, their pleas fall on deaf ears. As they endure harsh interrogations, the sisters must rely on each other to survive. Can they prove their innocence or find a way to escape before it's too late? This gripping tale of resilience and courage explores the depths of sisterly bonds in the face of injustice and danger.

From the publisher

World War II may be over. But two sisters are far from safe.Inspired by true events, this is the latest gripping and powerful novel from the acclaimed author of Making Bombs for Hitler.Sisters Krystia and Maria have been through the worst – or so they think. World War II ravaged their native Ukraine, but they both survived, and are now reunited in a displaced persons camp.Then another girl accuses the sisters of being Hitler Girls – people who collaborated with the Nazis. Nothing could be further from the truth; during the horrors of the war, both sisters resisted the Nazis and everything they stood for. But the Soviets, who are now in charge, don’t listen to the sisters’ protests. Krystia and Maria are taken away and interrogated for crimes they never committed.Caught in a dangerous trap, the sisters must look to each other for strength and perseverance. Can they convince their captors that they’re innocent – or escape to safety before it’s too late?
