Summary
The war is over, but the fight for freedom has only just begun.
Berlin. August 1961. The Cold War. When the Berlin Wall brutally divides East from West, Sabine is separated from her beloved brother, Dieter. Escape to the West is the only option if the family is to be reunited. But the Wall is guarded by soldiers operating a shoot-to-kill policy. And Sabine finds herself at the mercy of the Stasi and their brutal interrogation techniques. She must fight to escape. She must fight to survive.
Separated from his family by the Berlin Wall, Dieter teams up with a rebel group determined to rescue their loved ones from East Berlin. They have a plan. But it's a dangerous mission, beset with difficulties at every turn. Who can they really trust? Who is friend or foe?

Awful Situation.
This period created the Perfect storm for terrible things to happen. The book kept me riveted, unfortunately for the wrong reasons.

Fantastic couldn’t stop listening
This was a truly emotional heart felt story full of historical facts. The characters were well written and I was deeply invested in their journey and hardships of their lives. Thank you Margarita Morris.
The narration was also excellent and made the story really come to life for me.

definitely worth a read!
being born in the early 70's I can remember the Berlin war coming down and watched the footage with great curiosity. Reading this book gave an excellent insight of what life was like from both sides of the wall, families being split up, never knowing if they would ever see or even make contact again. It's hard to believe how distressing this was to all the families and friends it impacted on. even the people free of the strict regimes on the opposing side mostly had loved ones they longed to be with once again. A truly excellent book highlighting just one example of a families heartache and bravery.

teen fiction with bullet point historical events
a truly awful book on every level, I can only guess this was written for teens and school children, an unbelievably simplistic plot peppered with some facts straight out of any book on the DDR , hideously biased and poorly read.There is nothing positive about this book , It got laughable when s main character just happened to be there at the iconic moment the east German border guard jumped the barbed wire.Save your soul and read any other book on the subject , it's neither a goid read nor a source if anything approaching historical interest .Just very lightweight for a teen audience and those who like a nice story without facts getting in the way.
