The only thing that gives her strength is the one thing no one must ever find out.

Warsaw, 1941. The life of fifteen-year-old Hannah is ripped apart as she is forced to flee the only home she ever knew to save her life. After years of hunger and hardship, Hannah's mother smuggles her out of the Warsaw Ghetto and into the local Christian abbey, where she made arrangements for Hannah to be looked after by any means necessary. Her final wish for her daughter -- never forget who you are, and where you came from.

In the abbey, Hannah -- now Maria -- struggles to find her place among the other war orphans. With the years in the ghetto carved into her body and soul, Hannah's only source of encouragement lies in Mark: once her sister's childhood friend, now the only remaining connection to her life before the war. But when Mark goes missing, grief threatens to shatter Hannah's world once again. With nothing but her own conviction to keep her safe, can she find the courage to follow the only man she ever loved into the darkness that threatens the entire world?

An emotional page-turning novel of resilience in the face of unimaginable trials, The Girl From the Abbey is a coming-of-age novel based on the true story of a Holocaust survivor. Perfect for readers of Roberta Kagan, Shari Ryan, and Ellie Midwood.
