Summary

"In WWII Poland, two sisters fight against the darkness engulfing their homeland, one by entering a daring network of women sheltering Jewish children and the other by joining the ranks of Poland's secret army. As Warsaw buckles under German oppression, they must rely on the courage that calls the ordinary to resist"--, Provided by publisher1939. Antonina and Helena Dąbrowska send their father off to defend Poland against the looming threat of German invasion. The next day the first bombs fall on Warsaw, shattering the world of their youth. When Antonina's beloved Marek is forced behind ghetto walls along with the rest of Warsaw's Jewish population, she becomes a key figure in a daring network of women risking their lives to shelter Jewish children. Helena finds herself drawn into the ranks of Poland's secret army, joining the fight to free her homeland from occupation. The secrets both are forced to keep threaten to tear the sisters apart-- and the cost of resistance proves greater than either ever imagined. -- adapted from back cover
