Caroline Ferriday, Kasia Kuzmerick & Herta Oberheuser. Three women whose lives intertwine eventually. Caroline Ferriday is a socialite in New York, whose work involves sending care packages to French children in France who are suffering from the effects of Word War II. Kasia Kuzmerick is a teenager in Poland who is plucked from her life doing underground work against Hitler to be put in a camp for women called Ravensbruck. Herta Oberheuser is a German medical student who wants to study surgery.
These characters are written so vibrantly. Two of them are actual true people, Caroline & Herta. Martha Hall Kelly definitely brought these characters to your heart and you feel all of the heartache and joys that these women experience.
