Official synopsis Publisher
Sometimes Dreams Come True…
And so do nightmares.
When Naomi’s daughter, Perle, starts to have nightmares about smokestacks and creepy doctors, Naomi is struck with terror – the terror of a mother who fears her daughter is in mortal danger. Naomi believes dreams are glimpses into the future. She, too, has had dreams of foreign soldiers with a strange flag invading her tiny village. She knows in her heart that evil is brewing.
Real-life has already been a living hell for Noami. She must navigate the treacherous path of her unhappy arranged marriage with Hershel while keeping a scandalous love affair secret. And now something is coming. Her dreams – the dreams Hershel laughs at – tell her so. And the thing that is coming will make the hell she has been living seem ordinary and almost peaceful.
The noose is tightening, and not even her nightmares can prepare Naomi, or her sleepy little village, from the sweeping scythe of the Nazi death machine.
