Description
1943
In the throes of WWII, German soldier Johannes Gertner, is captured in Egypt and sent to Camp 23 -- a POW camp in the wilds of Canada's boreal forest. Far from Rommel's Afrika Korps, Johannes forms an unlikely friendship with an anti-Nazi philosopher and the camp's mascot -- a black bear.
But when tragedy strikes Camp 23, Johannes is relocated to a Canadian farm where he meets Violet Earle -- the farmer's affable daughter. Far from the battlefields of WWII, Johannes is faced with an unfathomable dilemma and must decide if his freedom is worth the risk.
2022
Mourning her beloved grandmother, Elizabeth Sullivan inherits the family's dilapidated cottage. Finding solace in the neighbour's son, the two uncover a long-held family secret that shatters the budding romance. Heartbroken, Elizabeth sets off to find the truth, but will it be enough to mend all that is broken?
A story from a new-world vantage, The Prisoner's Daughter offers a glimpse of life at POW Camp 23 and those living an ocean away from the front lines-a point of view rarely told in WWII fiction.
