For the Wittgenstein family, the summer of 1915 was a time of both prosperity and unease, as the guns of war sound in the distance. But for eldest daughter, Beata, it was a time of awakening. By glimmering Lake Geneva, the Jewish beauty met a young French officer and fell in love. Even though her parents would never accept her marriage to a Catholic, Beata followed her heart anyway.

As family and friends are swept away without a trace, Amadea is forced into hiding, thus beginning a harrowing journey of survival, first in the Nazi death camps and then in the French resistance.

As one of the darkest moments of the 20th century loomed in the form of the Holocaust, Danielle Steel expertly tells a story about the power of the human spirit. It was hard to put down because I just HAD to know what was going to happen next after every climax of the story :-)
