520			_aDuring World War II, a large portion of Germany's male population were off serving their Fuhrer and Fatherland, leaving behind legions of women to continue alone on the home front. Sigrid Schroder is a discontented hausfrau living in Berlin when she meets Fraulein Kohl, a fierce young woman who makes it her business to help those who cannot help themselves. Soon, Sigrid finds herself drawn in to the underground world of hiding Jews. But Sigrid has another alarming secret--a Jewish lover, whom she'd do almost anything to protect. The complex relationships that develop among women, men, family, and lovers are at the core of what drives this debut novel, which captures both heart and mind from the start and does not let go until the riveting end.
