About the Book

Millie was going to school in Switzerland when Hitler came to power in Germany. She did not experience the Holocaust of the 1930s. When World War II broke out, she lost all contact with her family. Near the end of the war, she decided to slip into Germany to find and possibly save her parents only to be captured and sent to a concentration camp. When the camp was liberated in early 1945, she was found unconscious and near death. When she wakes up, much time has passed. Millie finds herself married, and no longer in Germany. Her life is full of mysteries, and no one will give her any information about what has happened to her. She doesn’t even know who her husband is.
