Book Description
When a Berlin church decides to give refuge to fugitive Jews, they must hide this from the pastor's teenaged son, Kristopher, who is an ardent Hitler Youth. Eventually the church is betrayed, and the pastor and his family are sent to a slave labor camp where Hitler's V-1 and V-2 rockets are being assembled. Several months pass before the pastor discovers that one of the scientists in charge of the rocket facility is Dr. Otto von Kemp, a former member of his Berlin church; but von Kemp is unable to get his pastor released because he has secrets of his own that he must keep hidden from the Nazis. When Von Kemp's daughter, Hannah, learns that her childhood sweetheart, Kristopher, is interned with his family in one of the labor camps, she persuades her father to put him to work as a gardener on their rented estate. However, Kristopher's bitterness - plus Hannah's infatuation with him- inevitably leads to a sexual encounter between the two that changes all their lives 25 years later.
