'Kortchik has penned a raw, unflinching account of wartime survival.' SUSAN MEISSNER

'Sisters everywhere will love it.' DEBORAH SWIFT

Albania, 1943. When US Army nurses and identical twins Andrea and Nicole find themselves stranded in a remote area of the war-torn country, their only route to safety is a perilous trek through the mountains with the Germans on their tail.

On the long and risky journey, the treacherous conditions push both of them – and Andrea’s marriage – to the limits.

When a chance encounter brings Darren, Nicole’s first love, back into their lives, a long-held secret threatens to tear the sisters apart. As the enemy moves ever closer and the danger continues to mount, will the chance to rebuild their relationship be lost forever?

'Kortchik brings a fascinating story about a WWII rescue mission through Nazi-occupied Albania to life for the reader.’ JOANNE KORMYLO

About the Author

Lana Kortchik grew up in two opposite corners of the Soviet Union - a snow-white Siberian town and the golden-domed Ukrainian capital. At the age of sixteen, she moved to Australia with her mother. Lana and her family live on the Central Coast of NSW, where it never snows and is always summer-warm, even in winter. She loves books, martial arts, the ocean and Napoleonic history. Her short stories have appeared in many magazines and anthologies. She was the winner of Historical Novel Society Autumn 2012 Short Fiction competition and the runner-up of 2013 Defenestrationism Short Story Contest.
