All I can say is WOW!!! My Enemy's Cradle by Sara Young is Amazing!!! From the first page I was hooked and, I am not kidding, I had about 50 pages left and I just wanted to stop so that I wouldn't finish as quickly. I love to read books that take place during World War Two, but this one was something I had never heard about - the Nazi Lebensborn Program - where girls that have gotten pregnant by German military soldiers - can go and be taken care of while they are pregnant and then have their babies adopted out to be raised to be "good Nazis" - so sad and yet so informative. Cyrla's story is told so wonderfully that I just turned page after page totally wrapped up in this young girl's life. Absolutely wonderful!!! You may recognize this as Sara Pennypacker - the wonderful author of those adorable Clementine books!! What a talented author!

I just read this one about a month ago and reviewed it here. I was amazed that Ms. Young could such completely different kinds of books: an adult suspense/romance and the Clementine books for elementary age children.
