Waiting for the Storks

I don't want to remember the truck; or the night I was taken; or the family I left behind. I am not a sad Polish girl. I am a good and happy German girl.

I am. I am. I am.

It's the Second World War and Himmler's Lebensborn Program is in full flight when eight-year-old Zofia Ulinski is kidnapped by the Germans. She has blonde hair and blue eyes; just like the other Polish children taken from their families and robbed of their names; their language; their heritage.

But when Zofia is adopted into a wealthy and loving German family; it is easier; it is safer to bury her past; deep down; so everything is forgotten. Until the Polish boy arrives.

And the past comes back to haunt her.

From Katrina Nannestad; multi-award-winning author of We Are Wolves and Rabbit; Soldier; Angel; Thief; comes a story about family lost and found; and the choices we make when we don't have a choice at all.
