Another WWII historical fiction and once again I learned something new. This one is set in Poland and tells the story of a fictional woman who worked with the real life Irena Sendler to smuggle children out of the Warsaw ghetto. The author has wonderfully captured the risk these people took to save lives and the horrible conditions in the ghetto. The present timeline was wonderful at breaking up the more tension filled moments in the past. 4.25/5

We meet Zofia in 1942 Warsaw as she works during the day at the Social Welfare Department and helps rescue children from the Warsaw Ghetto after work.

We then meet Lizzie, the great granddaughter of Zofia.

Lizzie finds photos of her grandmother hidden in a trunk in the attic.

The photos lead to finding out about her ancestors. 5/5
