In 1942, Sadie Gault, an eighteen-year-old, lives with her parents in the Krakow ghetto, facing the daily horrors of World War II. When the Nazis liquidate the ghetto, Sadie and her pregnant mother are forced to take refuge in the dangerous sewers that wind beneath the city. One day, Sadie spots through a grate a girl her age buying flowers. Ella Stepanek, a wealthy Polish girl, leads a relatively comfortable life thanks to her stepmother's alliance with the Germans. While shopping at the market, Ella discovers Sadie hiding in a sewer and decides to help her. Both young women strike up a friendship that will be tested as the dangers of war intensify. Inspired by real events, this novel is a testament to the power of friendship and the human will to survive.
