This is such an unusual story that I hadn’t heard a lot about. As a unique historical fiction read, it delves into the real-life history of the German Lebensborn Society program during WWII, a Nazi sanctioned breeding program to propagate an Aryan race. This tells the tale of 3 women and how their lives intersect at Heim Hochland. Was a fascinating read! I would have liked to have a bit more closure at the end to learn more about what happens to the characters, but overall, would definitely recommend! Thanks to the author, publisher, & NetGalley for the opportunity to review this ebook.

DNF at page 77. There's nothing particularly wrong with it, just felt a bit overwritten and failed to hold my attention.

I didn't like the situation, but I found this book interesting. I will hear this author speak next month.

It's hard for me to understand how people thought about the Third Reich, Hitler, Jewish people and so much more.
