Years later, she is confronted by her husband who has tracked her down.

Story
As the war begins, Hanna Rombauer, a young German woman, is sent to live with her aunt and uncle after her mother’s death. Thrown into a life of luxury she never expected, Hanna soon finds herself unwillingly matched with an SS officer twenty years her senior. The independence that her mother lovingly fostered in her is considered highly inappropriate as the future wife of an up-and-coming officer and she is sent to a “bride school.” There, in a posh villa on the outskirts of town, Hanna is taught how to be a “proper” German wife.

Publisher's Summary
The extraordinary story of Stefania Podgorska, a Polish teenager who chose bravery and humanity by hiding 13 Jews in her attic during WWII - from number one New York Times best-selling author Sharon Cameron.
One knock at the door, and Stefania has a choice to make....
It is 1943, and for four years, 16-year-old Stefania has been working for the Diamant family in their grocery store in Przemsyl, Poland, singing her way into their lives and hearts. She has even made a promise to one of their sons, Izio - a betrothal they must keep secret since she is Catholic and the Diamants are Jewish.
But everything changes when the German army invades Przemsyl. The Diamants are forced into the ghetto, and Stefania is alone in an occupied city, the only one left to care for Helena, her six-year-old sister. And then comes the knock at the door. Izio's brother Max has jumped from the train headed to a death camp. Stefania and Helena make the extraordinary decision to hide Max, and eventually 12 more Jews. Then they must wait, every day, for the next knock at the door, the one that will mean death. When the knock finally comes, it is two Nazi officers, requisitioning Stefania's house for the German army.
With two Nazis below, 13 hidden Jews above, and a little sister by her side, Stefania has one more excruciating choice to make.
Also includes a recorded conversation with author Sharon Cameron and reader Beata Poźniak, discussing Beata's decades long friendship with Stefania Podgórska and the legacy of the Podgórska sisters.

Brilliant & heart breaking
I cried, I stayed up late listening, I held my breath until the end! What an incredible story! I recommend listening to the last chapter first as it’s the performer & author interviewing each other. I loved that the performer was polish as it was so authentic but struggled sometimes as there was so many characters & it was hard to keep up with all their names.

Great story, unbearable narration!
I think I would have enjoyes this book so much more if I had read it rather than listened. The story itself is good but the irritating sing-songy cadence of the narrator is incredibly off-putting. I understand she is a native of the city and therefore has an authentic accent for the part but the accent wasn't the issue.
I have read other reviews and seem to be alone in my opinion and I refuse to believe that's the case....rather I think the negative reviews aren't being approved. We'll see I guess......
