Every historical fiction novel should strive to be this compelling, wellresearched and just flatout good. Associated PressFor fans of The Nightingale and The Handmaids Tale, Cradles of the Reich uncovers a topic rarely explored in fiction: the Lebensborn project, a Nazi breeding program to create a socalled master race. Through thorough research and with deep empathy, this chilling historical novel goes inside one of the Lebensborn Society maternity homes that existed in several countries during World War II, where thousands of racially fit babies were bred and taken from their mothers to be raised as part of the new Germany.At the Heim Hochland maternity home in Bavaria, three womens lives coverage as they find themselves there under very different circumstances. Gundi is a pregnant university student from Berlin. An Aryan beauty, shes secretly a member of a resistance group. Hilde, only eighteen, is a true believer in the cause and is thrilled to carry a Nazi officials child. And Irma, a 44yearold nurse, is desperate to build a new life for herself after personal devastation. Despite their opposing beliefs, all three have everything to lose as they begin to realize they are trapped within Hitlers terrifying scheme to build a NaziAryan nation.A cautionary tale for modern times told in stunning detail, Cradles of the Reich uncovers a littleknown Nazi atrocity but also carries an uplifting reminder of the power of women to set aside differences and work together in solidarity in the face of oppression.Skillfully researched and told with great care and insight, here is a World War II story whose lessons should notmust notbe forgotten. Susan Meissner, bestselling author of The Nature of Fragile Things
