Books Descriptions
Listening Length: 11 hours and 40 minutesGermany, 1942. Franciscan friar
Anton Starzmann is stripped of his place in the world when his school is
seized by the Nazis. He relocates to a small German hamlet to wed
Elisabeth Herter, a widow who seeks a marriage ? in name only ? to a man
who can help raise her three children. Anton seeks something too ?
atonement for failing to protect his young students from the wrath of the
Nazis. But neither he nor Elisabeth expects their lives to be shaken once
again by the inescapable rumble of war.As Anton struggles to adapt to the
roles of husband and father, he learns of the Red Orchestra, an
underground network of resisters plotting to assassinate Hitler. Despite
Elisabeth?s reservations, Anton joins this army of shadows. But when the
SS discovers his schemes, Anton will embark on a final act of defiance
that may cost him his life ? even if it means saying goodbye to the family
he has come to love more than he ever believed possible.
