Eventually, the war arrives in their city, bringing with it destruction and death. As the Nazis clash with Stalin's Red Army and relentless bombing rains from above, the girls flee to their grandparents' farm in the countryside. But no place is safe. Surrounded by enemies, Asta and Pieta are presented with one chance at escape: a transport ship leaving from the Baltic Sea.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGetting from the farm to the coast is an impossible trip through a brutal war in the dead of winter. With food scarce, warm clothing lacking, and few resources, the sisters have little chance of making it. And Asta and Pieta are not alone in their plans--everyone is headed to the harbor with the same desperate hope. Securing a place on the ship will require nothing short of a miracle. Their dangerous journey is only just beginning, though, and the sisters can't begin to imagine what they'll have to sacrifice to survive . . .\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSteve Watkins is the author of the young adult novels \u003ci\u003eOn Blood Road\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eJuvie\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eWhat Comes After\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eGreat Falls\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as the middle-grade novels \u003ci\u003eDown Sand Mountain\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSink or Swim\u003c\/i\u003e, and the Ghosts of War series.
