Cradles of the Reich, by Jennifer Coburn

Cradles of Reich is a shocking and dark look back at history. In honor of Hitler, the Nazis' Lebensborn Society featured maternity homes where women were bred like cattle to create a "model German society". 

I found Jennifer Coburn's book, told from the perspectives of three women, to be enthralling and a subject I was unaware of till I read the book. Although the novel is fiction, it is based on true events.  Those interested in history will find this topic unusual and intriguing. This is a testament to the strength and endurance of women during the second World War.  

Cradles of the Reich by Jennifer Coburn is available on October 11th. 

Thank you, NetGalley and Sourcebooks Landmark, for sharing this book with me. I appreciate your kindness.
