Before I met Abram, I was afraid of them too. But I am about to tell you a very different story - a forbidden story.n nMy love for Abram defied all reason...as well as German law.n nTonight our son giggles with excitement as he blows out the candles on his birthday cake. But our safety is nothing but an illusion.

As his candles burn out, a window shatters outside. The room shudders as the synagogue down the street is engulfed in flames.n nKristallnacht has begun.n nWhen my hidden paradise crumbles like a stack of cards, I must do everything in my power to protect that which is most precious to me. My son's secret must remain hidden.n nBefore we lose everything.n
