A powerful, heartbreaking, and unforgettable story. Vienna, 1936. Three friends, Leo, Elsa, and Max, spend a perfect day in the Prater. From the Ferris wheel, it seems like the whole world belongs to them. But soon, this world around them plunges into darkness, and war cruelly tears them apart. In this time of fear and persecution, it is uncertain who among them will survive. Inspired by the story of her grandfather, bestselling author Liz Kessler tells in her most personal book yet how friendship, family, and love can sustain faith in the goodness of humanity even in the face of flight and death.
