Allied forces liberate Nazi - occupied Brno Moravia. For Gerta Schnirch daughter of a Czech mother and a German father aligned with Hitler it's not deliverance; it's a sentence. She has been branded an enemy of the state. Caught in the changing tides of a war that shattered her family and her innocence Gerta must obey the official order: she along with all ethnic Germans is to be expelled from Czechoslovakia. With nothing but the clothes on her back and an infant daughter she's herded among thousands driven from the only home she's ever known.
