Songs in the Night seriesbook 3Next:His Watchful Eye(2002) →

Following World War II, little has changed in Berlin. The Swastika has been replaced by the Hammer and Sickle, and the soldiers by secret police, but a life of daily oppression and fear remains. Inspired by the teachings of Joseph Schumacher, an unlikely coalition forms to sneak six disabled young people over the Berlin Wall, out of Communist East Germany. Once begun, two possible fates await them: freedom or death.
