"In the final months of World War II, Sam Ryan takes his place as a new soldier in the 89th Infantry Division on the front lines in Europe. He's trained to kill but struggles with the thought of taking the life of another human being, a contradiction with the way he was raised. In early 1945, however, he has no choice. It's kill or be killed. How, he wonders, will he ever reconcile the action his head dictates with the way his heart feels about it? With his life on the line every second, he marches into battle after battle through mountainous terrain in ankle-deep mud and icy winds, made more treacherous by ongoing fatigue and constant hunger. He finds comfort in the unbreakable bond formed with his fellow soldiers as they drive the Germans back and open the road to Berlin. But their solidarity is shattered when they meet their new lieutenant, who, time after time, takes the war into his own hands and commits acts that break every rule of engagement Sam and his band of buddies ever learned. On the other side of the war, Gerda Ziegler's heart aches over the monster her beloved Germany has become. But she confronts the Nazi soldiers who guard the Jewish-only sector in Zwichau to deliver bread from her family's bakery for her best friend, roughly herded through the gates the previous afternoon. Gerda is appalled to learn that a Jewish baby will be killed because of a large birthmark on his face and her friend pleads with her to save him from certain death. So at the risk of her own execution, Gerda whisks the child away in her bakery cart. Her heart soars and she wants to do more, to smuggle more children to safety. But will she really be able to get away with such acts of treason right under the noses of the brutal Nazis? Sam and Gerda both face their enemies head-on, but they also battle internal elements on their own sides of the fighting that violate their shared values of humanity. Even though they meet under the worst of circumstances they find a way to help each other through the trauma of war. In a unique perspective on the final months of the second global conflict, award-winning author Kaye D. Schmitz weaves the true-life stories discovered during her personal interview with World War II veterans into a rich tapestry of historically accurate fiction."--Jacket flap.
