The Stolen Children of War: A BRAND NEW emotional and gripping WW2 tale of survival, sacrifice and hope from Jina Bacarr

A BRAND NEW wartime novel of bravery, hope, and the power of a mother's love in the darkest of times 💔 Inspired by an incredible untold story.Perfect for fans of The Tattooist of Auschwitz, The Nightingale and Mandy Robotham 📖 It is 1943 in Nazi-occupied Paris, and nobody is safe. Nobody, except perhaps one small group of people, who’ve always existed outside the law…

At Le Cirque Casini, the trapeze artists still fly. The strong men still perform amazing feats. The sad-faced clowns still make people laugh, even in a city with a broken heart. The Nazis do not trouble them, as long as they keep the people happy and entertained.

But what the Germans don’t know is that there are circus performers with secrets of their own. And when Lia – a performer known for her bravery on the trapeze – finds herself with nowhere else to go but back to the circus she’d left 18 years ago – she does so with two small orphaned Jewish children in tow, who she’s sworn to protect.

As the circus’s numbers swell with people desperate to hide, and threats come not only from the Nazis but from one who seeks to kill someone amongst them, Lia and the other circus-performers know they must do everything in their power to protect the vulnerable.

But who better than those who would risk their lives every day for entertainment—to save the lives of others? An unforgettable story that will stay with you long after the final page 💫Readers love Jina Bacarr: “My heart was torn to shreds… This is one powerful, gut-wrenching, soul-shattering novel that would make any woman cry… My own heart felt pierced to the core… Like nothing else I have read… Magnificent.” Reader Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
