Berlin, 1933 : Libby, 19 ans, est déterminée à commencer une nouvelle vie, aussi loin que possible de sa famille étouffante et de son alliance avec les nazis. Mais en ville, il n’y a pas d’échappatoire au régime brutal d’Hitler : la ville est assiégée par les nazis, des livres juifs sont brûlés, des devantures de magasin sont détruites et chaque jour, des innocents disparaissent. Lorsqu’elle rencontre Harro, son monde bascule alors qu’ils tombent désespérément amoureux. Mais elle sait qu’il y a plus en lui que son sourire éblouissant et ses yeux bleus perçants. Les marques de fouet sur son dos, les cicatrices laissées par les SS, racontent sa véritable histoire : c’est un résistant. Harro entraîne Libby dans le monde de la résistance et leur vie devient de plus en plus dangereuse...

Growing up, her interest in history only deepened and transformed from reading about the war to writing about it. After obtaining her BA in Linguistics, Ellie decided to make writing her full-time career and began working on her first full-length historical novel, "The Girl from Berlin." Ellie is continuously enriching her library with new research material and feeds her passion for WWII and Holocaust history by collecting rare memorabilia and documents.
