Years later, she uncovers a truth that shakes everything she thought she knew about her family to its very core. Bielefeld, 1936. Mathilde Schneeweiß begins working as a medical assistant for Dr. Bönisch. She falls in love with the dedicated physician and finds herself drawn into a dangerous undertaking. Together, they secretly help women in need--yet their courage does not go unnoticed. When they fall into the crosshairs of the Gestapo, Mathilde is forced to make a choice--even if it could cost her her life. For the fight for women's rights must, after all, go on... A moving novel about courage and betrayal, guilt and justice--and the indelible traces that history leaves upon our lives.
