Cradles of the Reich by Jennifer Coburn

This was a very interesting and well written historical fiction about the Lebensborn Society maternity homes in Germany. This story specifically takes place at the beginning of WW2. The story followed 3 women, one nurse and two younger expectant mothers.
I had heard about this program, but had not read anything in depth regarding this society/program. It was interesting to read the different perspectives of the three women. I greatly appreciate the author's notes as well, which further explains why she wrote the three stories as she did. And based on the author's own family history, I appreciate her telling of this story. The only thing I wish is there was a little more to the story - there is still a lot of story that could be told, but that is just a personal preference.
I received a copy of this book from netgalley.
