\n< p>Berlin\, 1930 &mdash\;When a wave of change sweeps a radical political p arty to power\, Sofie von Meyer Rhodes&rsquo\;s academic husband benefits from the ambitions of its newly elected chancellor. Although Sofie and J&u uml\;rgen do not share the social views growing popular in Hitler&rsquo\;s Germany\, Jü\;rgen&rsquo\;s position with its burgeoning rocket progr am changes their diminishing fortunes for the better. But as Sofie watches helplessly\, her beloved Berlin begins to transform\, forcing her to cons ider what they must sacrifice morally for their young family&rsquo\;s secu rity\, and what the price for their neutrality will be.\nTwenty yea rs later\, Jü\;rgen is one of the many German scientists offered pardo ns for their part in the war\, and taken to America to work for its fledgl ing space program. For Sofie\, this is the chance to exorcise the ghosts t hat have followed her across the ocean\, and make a fresh start in her ado pted country. But her neighbors aren&rsquo\;t as welcoming or as understan ding as she had hoped. When scandalous rumors about the Rhodes family&rsqu o\;s affiliation with Hitler&rsquo\;s regime spreads\, idle gossip turns t o bitter rage\, and the act of violence that results will tear apart Sofie &rsquo\;s community and her family before the truth is finally revealed (G oodReads)."
