And Silently Falls the Snow - A powerful World War II historical fiction novel inspired by true events. In the winter of 1945, as the Third Reich collapses, the Red Army sweeps through Silesia, forcing German families to flee their homes. Among them are Elli, her sister Ruth, and their father Rolf, who embark on a desperate journey across war-torn Europe. Traveling in horse-drawn wagons through freezing snow and mountainous terrain, they face constant danger from Russian patrols, fleeing German troops, and the ruthless SS. Their only hope lies in crossing the frozen River Neisse, but when most refugees choose a safer route through an intact bridge, they fall into a deadly trap. As bombs fall on Dresden, Elli's family must fight for survival against impossible odds. When the SS abduct women and children in a final act of desperation, Elli's courage is tested to its limits. From Silesia to the Elbe River, this gripping family saga captures the heartbreak of displacement, the resilience of the human spirit, and the ultimate hope for freedom. Fans of Kristin Hannah's The Nightingale and Martha Hall Kelly's Lilac Girls will be swept away by this unforgettable story of survival, sacrifice, and enduring love.
