#1 New York Times bestselling author Sharon Cameron returns with a stunning story about the fight to survive - and find love - in the face of the ugliest of nightmares, based on the true story of two heroes and their resistance in the Sobibor death camp during the Holocaust.
Saartje has already survived two concentration camps when she is sent to Sobibor, a death camp that is infamous for forcing the inmates to perform sick entertainment for their Nazi guards if they wish to live. When Saartje is paired with a young Polish man and ordered to waltz, she doesn't understand the German command.
But her partner does.
The young Polish man, Chaim Engel, doesn't know how to waltz.
But Saartje does.
Together, the pair dance well enough to live through the night, and from that moment on, Chaim and Saartje will do whatever it takes to keep each other alive.
When, on October 14th, 1943, a prisoner revolt begins, Saartje and Chaim escape alongside 300 other prisoners amid the confusion and bloodshed. With only each other, the pair must survive the ensuing manhunt and find a place to hide if they want any chance of making it out of the war alive.
Based on the true stories of Chaim and Saartje Engel, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Light in Hidden Places, Sharon Cameron, crafts an evocative, beautiful thriller that celebrates hope, survival, and the power of love in the face of impossible odds.
