About the book
The Book of Lost Names, a New York Times bestselling author, has returned with a captivating World War II story about a young woman who uses her wilderness skills to help Jewish refugees escape the Nazis. This evocative coming-of-age tale follows her journey as she navigates through the challenges of the war-torn world, only to have her past come back to haunt her.
Stolen from her German parents at a young age and raised in the harsh wilderness, the young woman finds herself alone in 1941 after her kidnapper's death. Her encounter with a group of Jewish refugees fleeing the Nazi regime changes her life forever. As she teaches them survival skills in the forest, they, in turn, show her the power of opening her heart. But when betrayal forces her to seek refuge in a German-occupied village, her past catches up with her in a way she never expected.
Inspired by true stories of survival against all odds, this suspenseful novel explores themes of resilience and compassion in the face of adversity. The Forest of Vanishing Stars is a gripping and emotive read from a bestselling author known for their sweeping and immersive storytelling.
