Adriana Allegri has written an eye-opening must-read book. She has tackled an ugly and horrific part of history dealing with the Nazi Lebensborn Society maternity homes and eugenics programs. I truly applaud her ability to write real and complex characters true to the time and include all their ugliness and warped perceptions. Yet, at the same time balance it with characters who showed true compassion and who worked to help and save anyone they could at their own peril.

I still cannot believe this is a debut! Allegri has written an emotional story about good triumphing in the midst of horrid evil, and I canโt recommend this book enough!
