Summary

Austria, 1942: In Mauthausen concentration camp, two prisoners dare to fall in love. When a baby is born–a miracle baby born behind the gates of hell–they vow to escape. Inspired by true events, this powerful World War II novel tells the incredible and inspirational tale of two ordinary people who risk everything to achieve the impossible.

As Lore is pushed through the towering gates of Mauthausen concentration camp, she holds little hope of ever leaving, knowing that usually death is the only way out.

But soon, when Lore meets fellow prisoner Wolf, she commits the ultimate act of resistance against the brutal SS by falling desperately in love, finding solace and hope in this hell on earth. And when Lore falls pregnant, they know they have to fight to not only survive, but escape.

Together, they must achieve the impossible by bringing new life into a death camp, risking their own lives to ensure their child will become the child who lived....

Fans of The Tattooist of Auschwitz and The Choice will be incredibly gripped by this tear-jerking audiobook. Based on true events, this unforgettable World War II novel shows that even in darkness, love can sometimes find a way.
