Just got a cover image for Stolen Child. This novel is coming out in Feb!
Stolen Child
By Marsha Forchuk Skrypuch
Scholastic Canada
They call her the “Hitler Girl” . . .
Stolen from her family by the Nazis, Nadia is a young girl who tries to make sense
of her confusing memories and haunting dreams. Bit by bit she starts to uncover
the truth — that the German family she grew up with, the woman who calls herself
Nadia’s mother, are not who they say they are. Beyond her privileged German
childhood, Nadia unearths memories of a woman singing her a lullaby, while the
taste of gingersnap cookies brings her back to a strangely familiar, yet unknown, past.
Piece by piece, Nadia comes to realize who her real family was. But where are they
now? What became of them? And what is her real name?
This story of a Lebensborn girl — a child kidnapped for her “Aryan looks” by the
Nazis in their frenzy to build a master race — reveals one child’s fierce determination
to uncover her past against incredible odds.
lovely cover Marsha!
Congratulations, Marsha! Sounds like a very intriguing story. 🙂
I can’t wait to read it!!
I just finished Daughter of War and thought it was brilliant.
I was shaking at then end, I couldn’t tell if he was going to except Pauline, and I was totally shocked when Zeki was killed, either way it was brilliant.
I’ve actually read, Nobody’s Child, The Hunger and Hope’s War. You talked at my school last year, and I was one of the only ones who had read all your books, and I was able to thank you on behalf of the school, and got a signed copy of the hunger.
I can’t wait, the Holocaust is one of the things I love to study, and one of favorite subjects.
I saw that, I remember reading those as a kid, I hope to read that one.
Your writing, has inspired me to pick up my own writing again, I’m currently working on a story now. It’s hard work going from just poetry to story, but I’m enjoying the challenge.
