It is 1939. Paula Becker, thirteen years old and deaf, lives with her family in a rural German town. As rumors swirl of disabled children quietly disappearing, a priest comes to her familys door with an offer to shield Paula from an uncertain fate. When the sanctuary he offers is fleeting, Paula needs to call upon all her strength to stay one step ahead of the Nazis.

In an effort to create the perfect race we know a lot of what Germany went through in WW2 but often only focus on the Jewish people. Being disabled also puts you at risk and being Deaf one of those. Going into hiding or on the run to remain out of the institutions- holding cells for those yet to be euthanized. Others were sterilized. This is a free form poetry book written through the eyes of a young deaf teen during this period in our history...

MaggieCarr ....It begs us to remember our history as to not repeat it. 1mo
Karisimo Her book about a mostly deaf community on Martha‘s Vineyard in early American history is good too! 1mo

Two books in a row dealing with Deaf main characters. My #poetrychallenge2018 is to read as many new-to-me #novelsinverse as I can. I‘m on number ten.

@MrBook in your free time can you work on a list of novels in verse written for an adult audience for me? 😉

MrBook Ooooh, this'll be a heck of a challenge. I accept! 😁👏🏻🙌🏻 7y

This was recommended by our library's children's librarian. And while I wanted to love it, and it certainly taught me something about a Nazi program I had not known about before, to call it verse felt like a stretch.
