Exhausted and hungry, she knows she is still one of the fortunate ones. One of the few to survive the camps. Having lost her darling husband and son, the only thing that has kept her walking is the hope of finding her daughter, Rosa. As she arrives at the checkpoint, she is told it is closed for the day. But in her mind Miriam can hear her daughter's voice: Be strong, stand up to them. Don't let anyone bully you, Mum. Standing tall, she comes face to face with the guard and refuses to leave until they help her. When Miriam is introduced to an English officer named Jack, she describes how, fearing the Nazis, she and her husband sent Rosa to England to marry. It was not a marriage of love but of survival. Now, Miriam needs the officer's help: if she is to be reunited with her beloved daughter, he will need to help her travel to England. But as Miriam begins to describe Rosa, there is a look of recognition in Jack's eyes. As he listens to her story, he is transported back to an unforgettable English summer, to secret picnics in the long grass, and to a love that shaped the man he became. Will Jack now risk everything to help Miriam make the biggest journey of all, back to her daughter and her freedom? 650 0 $a Nazi concentration camp escapes $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Mothers and daughters $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Interpersonal relations $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Freedom $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Germany $x History $y 20th century $v Fiction. 651 0 $a London (England) $x History $y 20th century $v Fiction. 941 $a 2 952 $l BRPD251 $d 20240119020949.0 952 $l YCPD572 $d 20231206014547.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5F758E7C940511EE938C1F5A49ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
