“Gripping… This one easily stands on its own.” —Publishers Weekly
“Heart-stopping.” – Lisa Wingate, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author
“A surefire hit.” – Kristin Harmel, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author

In the spring of 1942, young Elzbieta Rabinek is aware of the swiftly growing discord just beyond the courtyard of her comfortable Warsaw home. She has no fondness for the Germans who patrol her streets and impose their curfews, but has never given much thought to what goes on behind the walls that contain her Jewish neighbors. She knows all too well about German brutality--and that it's the reason she must conceal her true identity. But in befriending Sara, a nurse who shares her apartment floor, Elzbieta makes a discovery that propels her into a dangerous world of deception and heroism.

Using Sara's credentials to smuggle children out of the ghetto brings Elzbieta face-to-face with the reality of the war behind its walls, and to the plight of the Gorka family, who must make the impossible decision to give up their newborn daughter or watch her starve. For Roman Gorka, this final injustice stirs him to rebellion with a zeal not even his newfound love for Elzbieta can suppress. But his recklessness brings unwanted attention to Sara's cause, unwittingly putting Elzbieta and her family in harm's way until one violent act threatens to destroy their chance at freedom forever. 

From Nazi occupation to the threat of a communist regime, The Warsaw Orphan is the unforgettable story of Elzbieta and Roman's perilous attempt to reclaim the love and life they once knew.

Don’t miss Kelly Rimmer’s newest novel, The Paris Agent, where a family’s innocent search for answers brings a long-forgotten, twenty-five-year-old mystery featuring two female SOE operatives comes to light!

A beautiful story of loss, love, and family that takes place in occupied Poland during WW2 and it’s aftermath. I love historical fiction and listen to quite a bit, but I couldn’t put this one down. Beautifully written and narrated.

[martha wessinger · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I have read so many WWII novels, but never one that centered around the terrible tragedies that fell on Poland be the Nazi’s! This was so well written and obviously a lot of research was done. We should all be aware of the price of freedom and this book is a good place to start!

[Jeanne Nichol · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This story is so real u feel everything the characters do. Vivid imagery of the conditions they live in and the fear they feel. I know WW II but not Poland specifically. U will live this history that should never b forgotten.
