by Anna Stuart (Author)

A gripping WWII story of one woman's determination to find her baby in the gruesome aftermath of surviving Auschwitz, perfect for readers of The Girl Who Escaped from Auschwitz.

Auschwitz, 1943: I stroke my beautiful baby's hair. It's a miracle it's blonde because it will keep her alive, it will keep her safe. Soon they will come and take Pippa out of Auschwitz-Birkenau and out of my arms. But while there's life, there's hope I might find my daughter again...

1945, Berlin: Ester Pasternak walked out of the gates of Auschwitz barely alive. She survived against devastating odds, but her heartbreaking journey is only just beginning. In the camp, Ester gave birth to a tiny fair-haired infant, only for her precious baby to be snatched from her and given to a German family. Now that the war is over, Ester is desperate to find her little girl. But Europe is in chaos, Jewish families have been torn apart, and everyone is urgently looking for their loved ones. In every orphanage and hospital she visits, Ester searches the faces of tear-stained toddlers; each mop of blonde hair and pair of blue eyes she sees sets her heart racing.

Will Ester find the child whose tattoo matches her own? Or is she already too late...

Author Biography

Anna Stuart has wanted to be a writer ever since she could pick up a pen and was writing boarding-school novels by the age of nine. She made the early mistake of thinking she ought to get a "proper job" and went into Factory Planning--a career that gave her some wonderful experiences, amazing friends and even a fantastic husband, but didn't offer much creative scope. So when she stopped to have children she finally took the chance to start the "improper job" of writing and hasn't ever looked back.
