When the Heart Sings

More about the book

Natia has a secret, and she's hiding him right beneath her captor's nose...The Nazis have forced Natia and Teodor from their Polish farm to a labor camp. The couple is separated: Natia is chosen to be the housekeeper for the camp's overseer, and Teodor is sent to work in the factory. Despite the strict camp rules-and the consequences for disobeying them-Natia finds a way to communicate with Teodor by sending messages through song as she passes Teodor's dormitory. The stakes get higher when Natia finds a Jewish orphan on the overseer's doorstep. She is determined to protect the boy and raise him as the child she and her husband were unable to bear- but if her German captors discover how much she's hiding, both she and Teodor may pay the ultimate price.
