<p></p>
<p><i>Who can Lena trust to help her find out the truth?</i></p>
<p></p>
<p>Life in East Germany in the early 1980s is not easy for most people, but for Lena, it’s particularly hard. After the death of her parents in a factory explosion and time spent in a psychiatric hospital recovering from the trauma, she is sent to live with her stern aunt, a devoted member of the ruling Communist Party. Visits with her beloved Uncle Erich, a best-selling author, are her only respite. </p>
<p></p>
<p>But one night, her uncle disappears without a trace. Gone also are all his belongings, his books, and even his birth records. Lena is desperate to know what happened to him, but it’s as if he never existed. </p>
<p></p>
<p>The worst thing, however, is that she cannot discuss her uncle or her attempts to find him with <i>anyone</i>, not even her best friends. There are government spies everywhere. But Lena is unafraid and refuses to give up her search, regardless of the consequences. </p>
<p></p>
<p>This searing novel about defiance, courage, and determination takes readers into the chilling world of a society ruled by autocratic despots, where nothing is what it seems. </p>
