"Bloom where you're planted," is the advice Christine Bolz will get from her beloved Oma. But 17-year-old domestic Christine knows there is a whole world waiting beyond her small German town. It's a global she's started to glance through music, literature - and through Isaac Bauerman, the cultured child of the prosperous Jewish family she works for. The future she and Isaac imagine sharing faces increased troubles than their difference in channels. In the fall of 1938, Germany is changing rapidly under Hitler's program. Anti-Jewish posters are all over the place, dissenting talk is silenced, and a fresh legislation forbids Christine from time for her job - and from having any marriage with Isaac. Inside the months and years that follow, Christine will confront the Gestapo's wrath and the horrors of Dachau, anxious to be with the person she enjoys, to endure - and finally, to speak away. Set against the background of the German homefront, this can be an unforgettable book of courage and resolve, of the inhumanity of warfare, and the heartbreak and anticipation kept in its wake.
