A sweeping, unforgettable novel of courage, sacrifice, and the quiet heroism that burns in the darkest of times.
When We Were Brave thrusts readers into the heart of World War II, where three lives collide in a world unraveling.
Wilhelm Falk, a disillusioned SS officer, has seen too much. Haunted by the horrors of the camps, he makes the ultimate choice—to defect and expose the truth, even if it costs him everything.
In another corner of war-torn Europe, young Izaak, a Jewish boy with a radiant spirit, must cling to hope as the walls close in. Each day is a fight for survival—and for his soul.
Meanwhile, in America, the Müller family—citizens by birth but German by blood—are ripped from their lives and sent back to a homeland ruled by fear, where their loyalties are questioned and their futures are uncertain.
Told through three intertwined journeys, When We Were Brave is a richly drawn, emotionally resonant tale of resilience, humanity, and the impossible choices ordinary people must make in extraordinary times.”
