It is February 1983, and Berlin is a divided city with a miles-long
barricade separating east from west. But the city isn't the only thing
that is divided. Ada lives among the rebels, punkers, and immigrants of
Kreuzberg in West Berlin. Stefan lives in East Berlin, in a faceless
apartment bunker of Friedrichshain. Bound by love and separated by
circumstance, their only chance for a life together lies in a high-risk
escape. But will Stefan find the courage to leap? Or will forces beyond
his control stand in his way? National Book Award finalist Beth Kephart
presents a story of daring and sacrifice in this three-starred reviewed
Junior Library Guild Selection and Booklist Top 10 Historical Fiction
for Youth.
