Sister Behind the Berlin Wall

A heart-wrenching story of courage in the face of unthinkable tragedy and an unbreakable bond that cannot be shaken...France, 1942. Orphaned sisters Lea and Rose live under the increasingly oppressive German occupation in Orleans. Times have been tough since their mother died - all they have left is each other - but practical Lea does her best to take care of Rose, the daydreamer. Then Lea loses her job, just as Rose has a sudden and heart-stopping encounter with Andre, a handsome young French fugitive, that changes her life forever. The women must flee the city, and everything they've ever known, finding safe lodgings with a kindly winemaker and his family on their Loire valley farm. But they aren't safe for long. And, faced with the grim choice between imprisonment or travelling to Germany to work for the war effort, Lea - against everything she believes in - reluctantly chooses the latter, thinking only of taking care of Rose. In a remote town in eastern Germany, Lea and Rose are confronted with the horror of the Nazis' brutality and treatment of the women workers, and learn to survive by clinging to the love they've each found in a bleak existence, and by keeping their enemy even closer . . . Yet tragedy, heartbreak and betrayal await these brave sisters, as their bond is tested beyond anything they could have imagined in this heart-wrenching WW2 tale.Perfect for fans of Marius Gabriel, Soraya M.
