As World War II approaches, two families run for their lives -- and for the future of all they hold dear. 1930: As raids and violent arrests sweep through their Crimean village, two families are forced to make desperate choices in order to keep themselves--and their hope--alive. The Pfeiffers get out as quickly as they can, braving a last-minute escape in the dead of night. Their friends the Scholzes are less lucky. Captured and transported to labour camps in the icy Far North, the future seems a bleak, dark nightmare for the couple and their three children. As the 1930s march towards the inevitable horror of war, and Europe is engulfed in hostility and persecution, the Pfeiffers find there is only so long--and so far--you can run before someone uncovers your past... In their darkest hours, these two families must do everything--anything--to survive. Will they ever find peace in the new world order? The first in a two-part touching and authentic family saga about a hitherto little-known chapter in history.

As World War II draws to a close, can two young people find love, hope--and freedom? February 1942: Terrifying reports of the Wehrmacht's advance across the Soviet Union spread like wildfire, striking new fear into the already oppressed German families living there. Harri Pfeiffer, now sixteen, is summoned to the forced labour camp in Chelyabinsk. With men around him dying by the hundreds, every day is a fight for survival in a world plagued with despair. Three years later, with the war finally over, Yvo Scholz arrives in Chelyabinsk, desperate for news of her brother, who was also last seen being dispatched to the labour camp. Still uncertain of the fate of her father, it takes all Yvo's unshakeable courage to build a new life for herself while she waits for hope to return. When their paths intersect, Harri and Yvo find a connection they never thought possible. But faced with hostility and discrimination, do they dare to dream they will one day be free--together?
