The soldiers who liberated the Gross-Rosen concentration camp say the war is over, but nothing feels over to eighteen-year-old Zofia Lederman. Her body has barely begun to heal, her mind feels broken. And her life is completely shattered: Three years ago, she and her younger brother, Abek, were the only members of their family to be sent to the right, away from the gas chambers of Auschwitz-Birkenau. Everyone else--her parents, her grandmother, radiant Aunt Maja--they went left. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Zofia's last words to her brother were a promise: \u003ci\u003eAbek to Zofia, A to Z\u003c\/i\u003e.

Breine, a former heiress, who now longs only for a simple wedding with her new fiancé. And Josef, who guards his past behind a wall of secrets, and is beautiful and strange and magnetic all at once. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e But the deeper Zofia digs, the more impossible her search seems.
