About The Girl Who Never Gave Up: The Emerald Sisters (Unabridged)

A totally gripping and heartbreaking World War 2 novel Auschwitz, 1944: “Quickly, give me your baby, Rachel.” Her friend whispers. “This is the only way to save her…” Germany, 1939: When Rachel Blau ’s husband Franz is released from Dachau, she barely recognizes the man she married. But she knows in order to keep him safe they must leave the country they call home and pray a life far from the Nazis will heal him. Until he is better, she must be brave for both of them… As Jewish refugees in the Netherlands, terrified and without a word of Dutch, Rachel and Franz watch helplessly as the Germans march closer to the border. And after the Nazis invade, they are forced, with the help of courageous Corrie ten Boom and her family, to hide from the Gestapo. Then their worst fears are realized when they are sent to a camp and—with a final whispered “I love you”—separated. In the darkness that night, Rachel makes a wondrous yet terrifying discovery. Brushing a hand over her stomach, she realizes she has more than just a memory of her husband. In a heartbeat, she becomes determined to survive for the sake of her unborn child. But with the Nazis showing no sign of defeat, how will she protect the precious life inside her? If the guards discover her secret, Rachel knows her baby will not live. But if she manages to smuggle her newborn from the camp, there is a chance her baby will survive. With tears streaming down her face, Rachel clasps her newborn tightly to her chest. Can she find the strength to give her longed-for child to strangers? And if she lets her baby be taken from her arms, how will she ever find her again? This final book in the Emerald Sisters series tells the heart-wrenching story of the power of a mother’s love, even in the face of the darkness of the Second World War. Perfect for fans of The Tattooist of Auschwitz, Kate Quinn and The Nightingale.
