World War II has ended, and her country is torn apart. Longing for a family, she marries Werner, an older bureaucrat who adores her. But after joining the fledgling secret police, he is drawn deep into its dark mission and becomes a dangerous man. When Bettina falls in love with an idealistic young renegade, Werner discovers her infidelity and forces her to make a terrible choice: spend her life in prison or leave her home forever. Either way she loses both her lover and child. Ten years later, Bettina has reinvented herself as a celebrated photographer in Chicago, but she's never stopped yearning for the baby she left behind. Surprised by an unexpected visitor from her past, she resolves to return to her ravaged homeland to reclaim her daughter and uncover her beloved's fate, whatever the cost. 541 $d 20200708. 648 7 $a 1939-1945. 650 7 $a Man-woman relationships. 650 $a Man-woman relationships $v Fiction. 650 $a World War, 1939-1945 $v Fiction. 650 $a Family secrets $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Family secrets. 651 7 $a Germany $z Berlin. 651 $a Berlin (Germany) $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Fiction. 655 7 $a Novels. 655 7 $a Novels. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. 941 $a 1 952 $l JKPC771 $d 20201106010953.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BEB4790E1FFD11EBB56869CB30ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
