Shurka, her beloved husband and their two small children lived in a remote village in Poland. When WWII broke out, they believed the danger would never reach them, but they soon learned how wrong they were. Forced to flee their family home, they found shelter with their fellow Jews in the nearest ghetto but, every night, more and more people disappeared; taken away on trucks and to never be seen again. There were rumours of camps at Sobibor, Treblinka, and Auschwitz-Birkenau and, the longer the family stayed in the ghetto, the sooner those camps would become a horrifying reality. Escaping into the forest was their best hope of surviving the Holocaust. There the family, along with Jewish resistance fighters, tried to hide from the Nazi soldiers who hunted them. This new life would test them more than they ever thought possible. Even in the dark, hope can be found. The novel is based on an incredible true story.
