The Iron Curtain still stands strong, dividing the West from the East, dividing freedom from oppression. Lena Hofmann lives in East Germany, a country of censorship, domination, and debilitating fear. Lena has caught glimpses of a different world—a world of freedom—from novels, music, and illegal broadcasts from the West, but she has no real knowledge of the other side of the Wall. Until one day, an American pilot crashlands outside East Berlin and turns Lena’s whole life upside down. Lena longs for a different life, but how far will she go to experience life on the other side?

His finger trailed up my thigh ever so gently causing my pussy complete torture. He knew what he was doing. He knew this was driving me completely crazy.

As the war drags on, Alice must face hard truths about what it means to be a German Jew. Events from 1942 come to light which force her to rethink everything she knew about her family's fate.
