A Forbidden Friendship in Wartime Arkansas
In the summer of 1942, twelve-year-old Patty Bergen's life changes forever when German prisoners of war arrive in her small Arkansas town. As a Jewish girl growing up in the segregated South, Patty already knows what it means to be an outsider. Her parents-a harsh, abusive father and a cold, critical mother-offer little affection, leaving her starved for love and approval. Her only source of genuine care comes from Ruth, the family's Black housekeeper, whose wisdom and kindness provide Patty's emotional anchor. When Patty meets Anton Reiker, a German POW who speaks perfect English, she's immediately drawn to him. Unlike everyone else in her life, Anton treats her with respect and genuine interest. He's not the monster propaganda has painted German soldiers to be, but a former medical student from an intellectual family who appreciates Patty's curiosity and intelligence. Their brief conversations in her father's department store spark a connection that defies the expected boundaries of enemy and citizen. What begins as childish fascination deepens into something more profound when Anton escapes from the prison camp and Patty discovers him hiding near her home. Faced with a moral dilemma that adults would find challenging, Patty makes a decision that will forever alter her understanding of courage, compassion, and her own worth.
