Who can Lena trust to help her find out the truth? Life in East Germany in the early 1980s is not easy for most people, but for Lena, it’s particularly hard. After the death of her parents in a factory explosion and time spent in a psychiatric hospital recovering from the trauma, she is sent to live with her stern aunt, a devoted member of the ruling Communist Party. Visits with her beloved Uncle Erich, a best-selling author, are her only respite. But one night, her uncle disappears without a trace. Gone also are all his belongings, his books, and even his birth records. Lena is desperate to know what happened to him, but it’s as if he never existed. The worst thing, however, is that she cannot discuss her uncle or her attempts to find him with anyone, not even her best friends. There are government spies everywhere. But Lena is unafraid and refuses to give up her search, regardless of the consequences. This searing novel about defiance, courage, and determination takes readers into the chilling world of a society ruled by autocratic despots, where nothing is what it seems.

The early 1900s were a time of great turmoil in both North America and Europe—two great wars devastated the lives of all. As if that were not enough, the Great Depression threw the world into chaos, the Spanish Flu decimated populations, and the Dust Bowl disrupted all of North America. Everywhere, there was a terrible struggle just to survive. People looked to the USA and Canada for a better life, and immigration flooded North America. This story follows one family caught up in all the best and all the worst that life has to offer, a family torn apart, striving to reunite. Moments of joy lighten the load, along with feelings of tenderness; they learn forgiveness for their own human failings and for those of others. Courage grows within them as they face adversity. And they experience the greatest gift of all—love.

Franz hasel, a 40-year-old pacifist, was drafted and assigned to Pioneer Company 699, Hitler's elite troops who built bridges at the front lines. His religious scruples did not endear him to his superiors. Sarcastically dubbed "carrot eater" and "Bible reader," he finally gained the respect of his unit. Just before he was sent deep into Russia--where all but seven of his 1,200-man unit would die--he secretly discarded his gun, fearing that, as the company sharpshooter, he might be tempted to kill. In Russia he faced a new problem: how to warn the local Jews before the SS got to them.
