From Kelly Rimmer comes a powerful and thought-provoking historical novel inspired by real events—exploring love, guilt, and survival in the shadow of World War II.

Set across dual timelines, the story follows Sofie Rhodes, the wife of a German scientist whose work becomes entangled with the Nazi regime. As war unfolds, she is forced to make impossible choices to protect her family while grappling with the moral cost of her husband’s involvement.

Years later, in post-war America, Sofie and her family are brought to the United States as part of a controversial program recruiting former Nazi scientists. But their new beginning is far from peaceful. As suspicion and resentment grow within their community, long-buried truths begin to surface—with devastating consequences.

Told through multiple perspectives, the novel explores themes of prejudice, accountability, and the human cost of war—asking what it truly means to survive, and whether the past can ever be left behind.

Emotional, gripping, and morally complex, this story offers a deeply human look at history and the choices that shape our lives.
