Description
Set against the rise of Nazi Germany and the postwar world, this novel tells a gripping story of survival, courage, and hidden truths. In 1938, young Sarah Frank escapes an SS officer whose obsession with her family turns deadly, finding refuge in a travelling circus—a sanctuary of acrobats, lion trainers, and outsiders who become her family.
Nearly two decades later, in 1957 New York, a routine zoo autopsy reveals a silver SS ring inside an elderly lion. Chief veterinarian Mark Spencer's investigation spans continents, uncovering Sarah's hidden past and revealing how courage and truth endure, even in the darkest times.
The Girl Who Rode the White Lion by Yishay Ishi Ron invites readers on a journey through history, intertwining personal struggles with larger historical events, showcasing the resilience of the human spirit.
