<p>In 1939 a young girl sits alone in a station waiting room in Marseilles. Half-Jewish Ilse has been sent out of Nazi Germany to safety in Morocco by her mother. But her journey takes her back to France, where she cannot escape the Nazi occupation. Blown about by circumstances beyond her control, she must grow up alone in a demi-monde of refugees, whores and freedom fighters.\nIn Germany, Nicolai struggles against his destiny in the Hitler Youth. His only comfort is the friendship of Ilse's mother, who works as a nanny in his affluent household.\nThe war eats up their youth. Though hope grows in France, a dark tableau is unfolding in Germany, and this reluctant soldier and brave young girl must fight for their survival.\nThis Moth Books edition has been updated with a new ending. Now also available as a Moth Books ebook and audiobook.</p>
