BOOK SUMMARY: The summer that Patty Bergen turns twelve is a summer that will haunt her
forever. When her small hometown in Arkansas becomes the site of a camp housing German prisoners during
World War II, Patty learns what it means to open her heart.
Even though she is Jewish, Patty begins to see a prison escapee, Anton, not as a Nazi--but as a lonely,
frightened young man with feelings not unlike her own, who understands and appreciates her in a
way her parents never will. And Patty is willing to risk losing family, friends--even her freedom--for what has
quickly become the most important part of her life.
