bestselling author of Orphan Train
A powerful novel of friendship set in a traveling circus during World
War II, The Orphan's Tale introduces two extraordinary women and their
harrowing stories of sacrifice and survival.
Sixteen-year-old Noa has been cast out in disgrace after becoming
pregnant by a Nazi soldier and being forced to give up her baby. She
lives above a small rail station, which she cleans in order to earn her
keep... When Noa discovers a boxcar containing dozens of Jewish infants
bound for a concentration camp, she is reminded of the child that was
taken from her. And in a moment that will change the course of her life,
she snatches one of the babies and flees into the snowy night.
Noa finds refuge with a German circus, but she must learn the flying
trapeze act so she can blend in undetected, spurning the resentment of
the lead aerialist, Astrid. At first rivals, Noa and Astrid soon forge a
powerful bond. But as the facade that protects them proves increasingly
tenuous, Noa and Astrid must decide whether their friendship is enough
to save one another--or if the secrets that burn between them will
destroy everything.
