From #1 New York Times bestselling author Danielle Steel, comes a powerful, sweeping historical novel about a courageous woman in World War II Germany.
Sophia Alexander, the beautiful daughter of a famous surgeon in Berlin, has had to grow up faster than most young women. When her mother falls ill, Sophia must take charge of her younger sister Theresa, look after her father and the household, while also volunteering at his hospital after
school. Meanwhile, Hitler's rise to power and the violence in her very own town have Sophia concerned, but only her mother is willing to share her fears openly.
After tragedy strikes and her mother dies, Sophia becomes increasingly involved in the resistance, attending meetings of dissidents, and helping however she can. Circumstances becoming increasingly dangerous and personal when Sophia is instrumental in her own sister's daring escape, fleeing
Germany with her young husband and his family. Her father also begins to resist the regime, secretly healing those hiding from persecution, only to have his hospital burned to the ground. When he is arrested and sent to a concentration camp, Sophia is truly on her own, but more determined than ever.
While working as a nurse with the nuns of the convent, Sisters of Mercy, Sophia continues her harrowing efforts to transport Jewish children to safety and finds herself under surveillance. As the political tensions rise and the brutal persecution continues, Sophia is undeterred, risking it all, even her
own freedom, as she rises to the challenge of helping those in need—no matter the cost.
In Only the Brave, Danielle Steel vividly captures the devastating effects of war alongside beautiful moments of compassion and courage.

      Narrator Samuel Roukin introduces listeners to this unique story of the German people before and after Hitler's maniacal rise to power. Roukin deftly creates both German and Jewish characters with identifiable voices and cadences. Sophia Alexander pays no mind to Hitler's actions until the hospital where her father works is burned to the ground because he refuses to perform experiments on Jewish children for Hitler. This and a few other horrors prompt Sophia to become an activist who helps Jewish people escape Germany--even her sister, whose husband is one-eighth Jewish. The depth of passion in Roukin's performance illuminates the characters and their bravery. Her delivery will enlighten listeners on the many Germans who were against Hitler's despotism and his attempted annihilation of the Jewish people. E.E.S. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine
