He will always be mine, she whispers, as the tears in her eyes blur her vision. She holds her baby tightly, her breath coming out in ragged gasps, knowing that she will have to say goodbye...
Ukraine, 1941. War has ripped Katya's country and heart in two. When her first love and the father of her child, a young Hungarian soldier, is killed in battle she thinks her heart couldn't break any more. But when she discovers she is pregnant, she is forced to give their beautiful son away.
Then two soldiers knock down her door and force her into a truck. Katya is terrified, but as she is driven away to a labor camp her spirit remains strong. Because as she looks out the tiny window at the barren winter landscape she thinks only of her little Alexander...
She knows she must find a way to escape if she can ever see him again. But will she ever be reunited with her precious son? Or will they be torn apart forever by the war that has already taken so much?
Based on an incredible true story, this is an emotional and gripping novel of family, love and the unwavering strength of hope. Perfect for fans of Kristin Hannah, Beneath A Scarlet Sky, and All the Light We Cannot See.
