Set in Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia, this book tells of blond-haired, blue-eyed, eleven-year-old Milada as she is taken from her home, relocated to Poland, and brainwashed into the Nazis' version of a model female. Determined not to forget her family, Milada, who is renamed Eva, fights for her memories. Through well-developed characters and vivid descriptions, this story exposes lesser-known Nazi war crimes.
