Summary
"When the Nazis invade a sleepy Polish town in 1939, Mirek Kozlowski swears to keep everyone in his orphanage safe at all costs. However, despite his struggles and sacrifices, the war drags him and his children deeper and deeper into its violent nightmare. With 89 children looking to him for hope, Mirek must do whatever it takes to protect them--no matter how criminal, distasteful, or perilous it may be. And just when he thinks things can't get any worse, the arrival of a sadistic SS captain brings unspeakable atrocities to his town--and surprisingly, a glimmer of hope for Mirek to save all those he cares about if only he has the courage to grasp it... A story of love, bravery, and compassion, A Song of Silence explores history's darkest hour and how, even in the face of overwhelming evil, one man can become a dazzling beacon of light."--Provided by publisher.
