The year is 1952. It's been over a decade since Josie and Arlette were arrested for working with the Resistance and imprisoned at the Ravensbrück concentration camp.
Now working for the U.S. Army, Josie nurtures an ember of anger in her heart as she searches for the Nazi scientists who did unspeakable things to her mother.
Arlette, having exhausted all her finances in Paris to find her stolen son, is left with no choice but to take a charming stranger up on his offer to search his compound's orphanage in French Guiana.
Yet rumour has it the compound is filled with absconding Nazis.
Both women must work together to uncover the truth and save the ones they love from terrifying danger . . .

She worked as an advertising copywriter for many years and raised three wonderful children, who are now mostly out of the nest. All three of her novels have been instant New York Times bestsellers.
Her first novel, Lilac Girls - published in 2016 - tells the story of Polish women imprisoned at Ravensbrück Concentration Camp and New York socialite Caroline Ferriday's fight to help them recover. It is currently published in forty-nine countries. Her second novel, Lost Roses, tells the story of Caroline's mother Eliza's struggle to help displaced White Russian aristocrats, and Sunflower Sisters is a Civil War novel about Caroline Ferriday's abolitionist great-grandmother's family.
