  refugee children\, she discovers that opening her doors means risking eve
 rything\, including her heart.</p>\n<p>In 1939 Georgia\, Cora Cain runs Th
 e Brunswick\, her family's once-grand hotel\, which is now struggling as t
 he town's general store. When Thomas Watkins arrives seeking work and sola
 ce after his mother's death\, a connection sparks between them. But everyt
 hing changes when Cora is asked to turn The Brunswick into a sanctuary for
  Jewish children fleeing persecution in Germany. As Cora and Thomas prepar
 e for the children's arrival\, they struggle to confront their pasts--and 
 the prejudice of their neighbors--as their fragile hope is put to the test
 . Meanwhile\, in Vienna\, ten-year-old Charlotte is offered refuge in Amer
 ica. But even with the horrors she sees around her\, she wonders how her p
 arents could possibly send her away. As war's shadow begins to reach small
 -town Georgia\, each person must face what love demands and decide what to
  hold on to and what to let go.</p>\n<p style="text-align: center\;">Books
