Fairytale in B-Flat

Eight year-old Gretchen lives in constant fear of discovery. It's a fear her concert-violinist grandfather shares...the life-changing event began just days after her birthday.

On that day German soldiers crashed through her front door, followed by the barking demands of the Gestapo. The grandfather's violin-bow stops in mid-downswing. Gretchen hears her parents' panicked cries as the grandfather grabs her hand, racing for escape out of the back door with only seconds to spare.

Captain Stefan von Sauer has a personal hatred for Jews, and when he finds out that two prized targets have escaped right under his nose, his rage erupts as he commands his men to hunt down these two audacious runaways.

Thus begins an inconceivable journey for Gretchen and the grandfather as they race into a dangerous world filled with Jew haters, where any misstep can mean arrest with no explanation. Gretchen moves from deathly fear to deadly determination to keep herself and her grandfather ahead of these Jew killers by cunning, cold blooded courage, and outrageous luck...and to somehow escape to freedom. All the while she stretches her very active imagination in ways she never dreamed possible.

With WWII exploding all around them, these two self-willed souls have to beat razor sharp odds to survive--let alone, find freedom-- knowing full well that the alternative is a matter worse than death!

Based on historical events; this heart-stopping WWII thriller is perfect for those who loved All the Light We Cannot See, The Boy from Block 66, or The Polish Nurse.
