From the Publisher

 Hide Karl in plain sight.

That was the idea. It was meant to be foolproof.  Who would think of finding an Aryan-looking Jewish child in the household of a high-ranking Nazi officer?  What could possibly go wrong?

When four-year-old Karl, Kara’s son, suddenly disappears, Kara’s worst fear becomes her painful reality. Has someone seen through her cover?

An increasingly frustrating search for the missing boy ensues. Kara is succored by Oskar, an SS officer who would do anything to have Kara's love. His compassion is in stark contrast to his office's macabre nature.

As her world is turned upside down, the grim nature of the Third Reich becomes much more apparent to Kara. The rot has eaten deep into many German hearts, even that of her beloved sister Anka.

As a fog of fear and evil envelops Kara's life, the hope of a love she had always ached for stirs ever so slightly.  

How far would one go to get a hold of what they so desperately want?  Will Kara see her son ever again?

My Thoughts

The Stolen Child by Roberta Kagan is a masterful story that had me captivated. It is beautifully written and Ms. Kagan's gift of storytelling brought this story to life for me. I found it deeply moving and I have to admit I shed more than a few tears while reading it.  I am still emotionally engaged and contemplating this book even after having read it a few weeks ago. For me, that's the highest praise I can give! 

All in all, I highly recommend The Stolen Child  and this book series. It's truly worth experiencing! 

5 Stars!
