This fictional account of a young girl’s flight during World War II will interest both youth and adults. Based on a true story, it follows a Mennonite girl as she becomes separated from her family during a chaotic flight westward from Poland in the closing months of the war. Although the family eventually immigrated to Canada, the book details the adventures and hardships of life during the Second World War and in the years afterward as it grapples with themes of loss, family, and belonging. A heartwarming story, it paints a portrait of the Mennonite German-Russian experience during World War II.
