description: They lost everything—but Hugo and Astra never thought they would lose each other.As the Russian Army advances on Latvia, the Petersons family desperately flees the only home they have ever known. Their escape is harrowing, but they are able to cope because they are together. Then tragedy strikes and twins Hugo and Astra are separated at a crowded train station. As Hugo makes his way to safety alone, Astra continues on the road to Germany with their grieving family. And as they both continue their lives, each wonders if somehow, someday, they will see each other again."Movingly related ... The pain of a family torn apart by events beyond their control [is] intertwined with acts of human kindness, and an undying sense of hope and determination that helps the human spirit to survive. A page turner." —VOYA
