For Maria — Bruce Judisch

'Bruce Judisch's explorations of history are reminiscent of the best of Bodie Thoene or Tricia Goyer. You won't regret taking this journey.' -ERIC WILSON, NY Times bestselling author of Fireproof and Two Seconds Late . Thousands of Jewish 'hidden' children disappeared into the vortex of a horrific war. And Madeline, a freelance journalist, is driven to find two of them...her long-lost aunts. December, 1939.

They are never heard from again. Today. Maria Szpilmann has survived Ravensbrück, Auschwitz, and Bergen-Belsen. Now she is grandmother to Madeline Sommers, a young journalist who, despite the odds, passionately clings to the belief that the lost twins are still alive. Her single-minded mission is to find them-and reunite them with her failing grandmother-before it's too late. The stunning sequel to the beloved novel, Katia.
