About this copy
An epic, sweepingly emotional wartime romance that takes a headstrong young woman across continents in a fight for survival, identity, and love. Sixteen-year-old Marta Dolniak has always been overly idealistic and headstrong, longing to follow in her beloved father's footsteps and lead grand armies into battle. Instead, on a fateful day in September 1939, she finds herself leading her fellow Girl Guides on a simple camping trip along the border between Poland and Germany. In an instant, the Nazi invasion shatters her world. Spirited across their bleeding motherland, the girls seek refuge in a remote eastern convent. But safety is a luxury that doesn't last. For the sole crime of having a father who is an officer in the Polish army, Marta is brutally arrested by Soviet forces and crammed into a boxcar bound for the harsh, unforgiving wilderness of Siberia. Forced to grow up under the most horrific challenges, Marta's extraordinary journey of endurance will sweep her across nations—from the frozen camps of the USSR to the heat of Iran, and eventually toward the shores of England. Along the way, her epic journey becomes a profound moral test, complicated further as two very different men compete to claim her heart amidst the chaos of global conflict. Rich with historical precision, intimate character work, and breathless tension, this is a masterful story of passion, pride, bravery, and the ultimate cost of war.
