Unlike her wealthy friends, Caroline Ferriday enjoys working, happy
to spend her days volunteering at the French consulate in New York.
But when Hitler invades Poland, Caroline’s “hobby” becomes an all-

actions soon land her in a cattle car headed for northern Germany.
There, her life will be in the hands of Herta Oberheuser, the only
female physician at Ravensbrück, the notorious women’s concentration
camp. Narrated in alternating chapters by Caroline, Kasia, and Herta, this riveting, sometimes
brutal historical novel
