The Jeweler's Daughter

In a short span, seventeen-year-old Anna Feiner's life becomes "persona non-grata." Being Jewish in 1943 has become a hazard, but her father's determination and her unconventional looks may be her saving grace. As Germany strives to eliminate the Jewish population, Anna's father, Joseph, makes her search for a place to hide and learn to survive on her own. She found the perfect spot for her future home, but like most teenagers, she ignored her father and missed her opportunity to hide and vanish, leaving only one possible way out; escaping with the dead. She will lie in the mass grave of the dead, to flee from the grasp of the ghetto and feared concentration camps. She is determined to find her hiding place, but she can't resist seeing her home and her best friend, Peter, one more time. Little do the Nazis know, a young Jewish girl is determined on sneaking her way back into town instead of out. Anna can only guess where her twisted journey will lead. Peter has never confessed he's loved Anna since he was fourteen, but being German makes it impossible. Officer Holtz, a loyal repeat customer, befriends Peter. When Anna is caught outside the bakery wanting one last look at home, Peter must decide where his life and loyalty lies, with Officer Holtz and Germany or Anna. Joseph Feiner is destined to die in ashes in the death camps but convinces the Nazi's he can make beautiful jewelry for their loved ones. He's filled with remorse when he learns what he is to use to make it with, but if it will lead him back to Anna, he'll do it.
