 Babies for Hilter
In Nazi Germany, Lebensborn was a home for unwed girls, pregnant by German soldiers. The infants, taken soon after birth, were given to German couples of the home's choosing and the girls sent back home.
Cyrla is half Jewish and living with Dutch relatives for safety. But that safety net crumbles when a neighbor becomes suspicious. Her cousin pregnant by a German soldier is to enter Lebensborn, until a tragedy intervenes. In an attempt to save her own life, Cyrla seeks out a Jewish friend and asks him to father a child for her, so she can take her cousin's place in the home for unwed mothers.
A great story of one young woman's tenacity and courage in the face of evil.
Eunice Boeve, author of Ride a Shadowed Trail
 Amazing Story -- You won't be able to put it down!
In "My Enemy's Cradle," Sara Young weaves a twisted story based on historical facts. The result is captivating. Cyrla's life is turned on it's side over and over again in this shocking story of love lost, the holocaust and the innocence lost during the nazi propoganda campaign.
I'd HIGHLY recommend this story, I picked it up and couldn't put it down until it had been read straight through. I was on the edge of my seat for this nail biter to see if Cyrla could lie in the lion's den and remain unscathed, yet found the twists and turns of the book to be somewhat bittersweet.
If you want a great read, BUY THIS BOOK!
A Good Read
Sara Young's debut novel opens in Occupied Holland. After her mother's tragic death and her father and brother's disappearance, half Jewish and blond Cryla, is passing as Dutch and living with her mother's family. As the rules for Jews become increasingly stricter and the risk becomes too great, she finds a way into the exclusive Lebensborn program. Lebensborn, the cradle of life, is a German ran maternity house that breeds future soldiers for the glory of Germany. "The pram is mightier than the tank," or so they say. In order to successfully navigate the program she will need to pose as her cousin, become pregnant, and hide her heritage. Everyday will be a fight to survive, and if she does she still has to escape... Though brave and determined Cyrla is left with very few people she can trust, many secrets, and certain death to her and her loved ones if she is caught.
The story is part historical romance and greater parts an uneasy reminder into one of history's dark periods. Although the subject matter at time is unsettling, the novel is packed with suspense and surprises.
History comes alive in a moving tale!!
Terrific book, well worth your time. You'll not only learn about an episode in history, you'll feel it. A story you won't forget once the book is put away.
I LOVE THIS BOOK!!!!
This book was so great! I absolutely loved it. I am actually feeling kind of down right now because I finished it and don't know if I will be able to find another book as good. I actually had to sit up for the last 6 chapters because I was so into it. I loved that it was such a great story with fictional characters but had some historical facts as well mixed in. It had such a great romance story in it as well. Sara Young I am your newest #1 fan!!
It reminded me somewhat of The Kommandant's Girlwhich I loved as well.
