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's Jewish, she begins to see a prison escapee, Anton, not as a Nazi, but as a lonely, frightened young man with feelings not unlike her own. <p/>In Anton, Patty finds someone who softens the pain of her own father's rejection and who appreciates her in a way her mother never will. While patriotic feelings run high, Patty risks losing family, friends -- even her freedom -- for this dangerous friendship. It is a risk she has to take and one she will have to pay a price to keep. <p/><b>An exceptionally fine novel. --<i>The New York Times</i> <p/> Courageous and compelling! --<i>Publishers Weekly</i> <p/> A National Book Award Finalist<br> An ALA Notable Book<br> A<i> New York Times </i>Outstanding Book of the Year </b><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Like Beth Lambert, <b>Bette Greene</b> grew up in a small town in Arkansas.
