The Jewel of Berlin (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798349507472)

Surrender?

But when was surrender not defeat?

Former socialite Eva von Lindner has been left behind in Berlin with no friends, no family, and no purpose. Awakened by noises, she uncovers the forgotten German Resistance at work in her own home. Thrust into the underworld of secret codes, fake names, and deadly secrets, Eva strives for perfection while learning from the ever-grumpy Dr. Brynner, and the family she finds there. But even the tiniest flaw could mean defeat, and no one wants to be the one who brings everything crashing down. When faced with impossible odds, Eva must answer a call with terrible consequences to save the people dearest to her heart.

Meanwhile, Dr. Sigmund Brynner fights a darkness of his own. Haunted by past deaths and present failures, Dr. Brynner wants nothing more than to escape Nazi Germany and forget. But then a girl startlingly similar to someone he lost years ago shows up at his practice, and he's forced to seek closure on a battle he'd thought long ended.

For fans of the classic tales of The Sound of Music, Pride & Prejudice, and Anastasia comes a new story for the YA audience about bravery, identity, worth, and surrender.
