ReviewsA Goodreads Choice Award Semifinalist, Historical Fiction " White Rose, Black Forest is partly a lyrical poem, an uncomfortable history lesson, and a page-turning thriller that will keep the reader engaged from the beginning to the end." --Flora J. Solomon, author of A Pledge of Silence "There is much to praise in Eoin Dempsey's White Rose, Black Forest , but for me it stands out from the glut of war fiction because of its poetic simplicity. The novel does not span a massive cast of characters, various continents, and the entire duration of the conflict. It is the tale of one young man, one young woman, and the courage to change the tide of a war. Emotional, taut, and deftly drawn, White Rose, Black Forest is a stunning tale of bravery, compassion, and love." --Aimie K. Runyan, bestselling author of Daughters of the Night Sky "Dempsey's World War II thriller is a haunting page-turner. The settings are detailed and the characters leap off the page. I couldn't put this book down. An instant bestseller." --James D. Shipman, bestselling author of It Is Well and A Bitter Rain "A gripping story of heroism and redemption, White Rose, Black Forest glows with delicate yet vivid writing. I enjoyed it tremendously." --Olivia Hawker, author of The Ragged Edge of Night "Tense, taut, and tightly focused, White Rose, Black Forest is a haunting novel about courage and compassion that will keep you gripped from the very first page." --Colin Falconer, bestselling author of The Unkillable Kitty O'Kane

SynopsisIn the shadows of World War II, trust becomes the greatest risk of all for two strangers. December 1943. In the years before the rise of Hitler, the Gerber family's summer cottage was filled with laughter. Now, as deep drifts of snow blanket the Black Forest, German dissenter Franka Gerber is alone and hopeless. Fervor and brutality have swept through her homeland, taking away both her father and her brother and leaving her with no reason to live. That is, until she discovers an unconscious airman lying in the snow wearing a Luftwaffe uniform, his parachute flapping in the wind. Unwilling to let him die, Franka takes him to her family's isolated cabin despite her hatred for the regime he represents. But when it turns out that he is not who he seems, Franka begins a race against time to unravel the mystery of the airman's true identity. Their tenuous bond becomes as inseparable as it is dangerous. Hunted by the Gestapo, can they trust each other enough to join forces on a mission that could change the face of the war and their own lives forever?, An Amazon Charts bestseller.
