520    "1944. When the war comes to twelve-year-old Agnes' 
       village her life changes in an instant. Her father is 
       dragged away by soldiers and her mother is mercilessly 
       killed, leaving Agnes and her younger brother Dieter 
       orphaned. Frightened, and surrounded by enemies, Agnes has
       no choice but to carry out her mother's dying wish, 
       whispered to her before the light flickered from her eyes:
       Promise you'll look after your brother for me, Agnes...But
       when Dieter's hand slips from her own while crossing a 
       river, the rest of Agnes's world shatters in an instant--
       has she truly lost everything? Cambridge, present day. 
       When her beloved grandfather dies, Freya is distraught. 
       Not only has she lost the man who helped raise her, but 
       she knows his stories of World War Two, and a part of her 
       family history, is gone forever. But when Freya meets her 
       new neighbor Agnes, whose accent is just like her 
       grandfather's, she notices a weather-beaten image of a 
       little blond boy in braces and boots that looks strangely 
       familiar...Could Agnes hold the key to unlocking Freya's 
       past? But Agnes has terrible secrets of her own, and she 
       vowed never to speak about the little boy in the 
       photograph who risked everything to save her...But if she 
       doesn't, she might never discover what happened to her 
       little brother all those years ago..."--|cProvided by
