Summary

As war creeps closer to her home in Poland, seventeen‑year‑old Annelise Banic feels the world she knows slipping away. Rumors whisper that the Nazis are tightening their grip, that danger is moving toward her town one quiet step at a time. Still, Annelise clings to the small beauties her father once taught her to notice — especially the birds he said were reminders of God’s presence, even in the darkest places. But tension rises quickly, and the people around her begin to change. Her childhood friend, Dietrich Elbougen, now aligned with the occupying forces, seems determined to break her spirit. Her family grows fearful. And Annelise must decide whether she will hold fast to those she loves… or let fear and betrayal harden her heart. As the world around her collapses, Annelise is forced onto a path she never imagined — one that will test her courage, her faith, and everything she believes about hope.
