Synopsis
Twelve-year-old Patty Bergen is a lonely girl growing up in a small Arkansas town during World War II. Ignored by her parents, Patty is desperate for the company of someone who will treat her with kindness and respect. When she discovers an escaped German prisoner of war, Patty, a Jewish girl, sees him as a person, rather than an enemy, and gives him shelter.

When German prisoners of war are brought to her Arkansas town during World War II, twelve-year-old Patty, a Jewish girl, befriends one of them and must deal with the consequences of that friendship.

Publisher's Note
A poignant, tragic story of a mistreated Jewish girl who befriends an escapedGerman prisoner of war because he is kind to her.

The summer that Patty Bergen turns twelve is a summer that will haunt her forever. When her small hometown in Arkansas becomes the site of a camp housing German prisoners during World War II, Patty learns what it means to open her heart. Even though shes Jewish, she begins to see a prison escapee, Anton, not as a Nazi, but as a lonely, frightened young man with feelings not unlike her own.In Anton, Patty finds someone who softens the pain of her own father's rejection and who appreciates her in a way her mother never will. While patriotic feelings run high, Patty risks losing family, friends -- even her freedom -- for this dangerous friendship. It is a risk she has to take and one she will have to pay a price to keep.

Industry Reviews
"An exceptionally fine novel"

"Well-drawn characters and a tightly developed plot create a story that evokes anger as readers deal with questions of prejudice and narrow-mindedness."
