This debut novel, nominated for a Global Ebook award, begins with the assassination of the head of the Nazi Occupation and the destruction of the small Bohemian town of Lidice in retribution. It follows characters who are separated from loved ones, sent to forced labor or underground resistance, and subjected to betrayal as they overcome defeat and find hope. Though set in the 1940s, the story could not be timelier. As one reviewer noted, "The parallels to today's world are evident....Many readers will find this tale chilling because it deals with 'regular Czechs.' People who thought they had nothing to worry about because they weren't Jews."
