While the other one' s brother fright the German's and came back not the same and she like many Americans believed all Germans was the same.But these women are not as different as they think they are for they would fight to the death to protect their love ones . These story will show you the story of both sides, their fear, their struggle, their lose and how the war changed their lives as well as everyone else .
ABOUT THE BOOK:
The enmity between two women from opposing sides of the war culminates
in a shocking event as anti-German sentiment sweeps America, when the
aristocratic wife of a German
scientist must face the social isolation, hostility and violence leveled against her
and her family when they’re forced to relocate to Alabama in the aftermath of WWII.
For fans of Beatriz Wiliams, Pam Jenoff,
and Kristin Harmel.
Berlin, 1934—Ilse Meyer is the aristocratic wife of a scientist whose post-WWI fortunes
change for the better when her husband, Jurgen, is recruited for Hitler's new rocket program.
Although Ilse and
Jurgen do not share the popular political views rising in Germany, Jurgen’s
new job forces them to consider what they must sacrifice morally for their
financial security. But too late they realize the Nazi’s plans to weaponize Jurgen’s
technology as they begin to wage war against the rest of Europe.
Huntsville, Alabama, 1949—Jurgen is one of hundreds of Nazi scientists offered
pardons and taken to the US to work for the CIA’s fledgling space program. Ilse,
now the mother of four,
misses Germany terribly and struggles to fit in among the other NASA wives,
who look upon her with suspicion. In a moment of loneliness, she confesses to a neighbor,
Rachel Carlson
, about Jurgen’s membership in the SS and her resentment
for being forced to live in a country that will always see her
as the enemy. What she doesn’t know is that she has trusted the wrong neighbor.
When the scandalous news about the Meyer family’s affiliation
with the Nazi party spreads, idle gossip turns to bitter rage,
and the act of violence that results will tear apart a community
and a family before the truth is finally revealed—but is it murder, revenge or justice?
