Publisher's Synopsis
Nadia is the coming-of-age story of a young Catholic girl growing up in the outskirts of Warsaw during WWII and of her personal quest to fight injustice by joining the Polish underground. She befriends a Jewish boy her parents hide in their attic, a Gypsy girl she finds in a tree in her back yard and lastly, Henryk, the boy who wants to spend the rest of his life with her. Nadia's story is a window to a history chronicling the Nazi occupation and the Russian invasion. An unforgettable, compelling character who finds the courage to act and the compassion to help others by risking her own life amid the loss of almost everything and everyone dear to her, Nadia struggles to survive throughout her ordeals while seeking and hoping for a better life.
