Preview: Hear it

When I was told my father was dead, I ran away....I reached the pine grove, and there I flung myself down, hugged the damp earth, and waited.Against a preHitler backdrop rarely viewed in young adult novels, Lena Katz suddenly learns that the Germany for which her father died is now considered part of Poland. She grows up torn between her desire to leave and her allegiance to her mother, who ignores thecountrys growing antiSemitism. Then Janusz, a handsome young idealist, enters Lenas world and alters her life forever.Maxine Rose Schurs books include The Circlemaker (Dial), her first novel, which Publishers Weekly hailed as atmospheric and suspenseful...maintaining an edgeoftheseat tension until the very last words.
