The German wife
(Large Print)
Description
"Berlin, Germany, 1930--When the Nazis rise to power, Jèurgen Rhodes is offered a high-level position in their burgeoning rocket program. Jèurgen and his wife Sofie fiercely oppose Hitler's radical views, and joining his ranks is unthinkable. Yet it soon becomes clear that if Jèurgen does not accept the job, their income would be put on the line, and so would their lives. Huntsville, Alabama, 1950--Jèurgen is one of many German scientists pardoned and granted a position in America's space program. For Sofie, this is a chance to leave the horrors of her past behind. But when rumors about the Rhodes family's affiliation with the Nazi party spreads, idle gossip turns to bitter rage, and the act of violence that results tears apart a family and leaves the community wondering if it's an act of vengeance, or justice?"--Back cover.
