Overview

The intense, gripping conclusion of the Resilient Women of WWII Trilogy, sweeps across Nazi Germany, Bratislava, and the Tatra Mountains, as two young women face high stakes to find their way home. 1943. When a safe house in Nazi-occupied the Netherlands becomes too dangerous for Edith, she flees. Injured, she meets Erich who promises to take her to his family’s home for medical attention. En route she awakens to discover that they’ve entered Nazi Germany—the last place she wants to be as a Jew. In need of concealing her faith, and with limited choices, Edith becomes the private teacher to Erich’s young brothers. Her roommate is a Roma with a tragic past and also hides from the Nazis in plain sight. When the new friends learn that Erich’s father is a senior member of the Nazi party, they know it is time to escape. Yet, Nazi patrols complicate their travels. Then, the last person imagined supplies a means to not only leave the house but from the Reich, altogether, though their safety is at risk as they cross several national borders. Following We Shall Not Shatter and Our Daughters’ Last Hope, the new friends, brought together by a common enemy, must courageously look into the eyes of evil and begin a gutsy journey to search for their families they’ve left behind during the war, and to help others through these dark times of prejudice and hatred.

When We Disappeared is phenomenal, and kept me on the edge of my seat with every turn of the page. I felt like I was standing right beside Elsa through her courageous journey. The strength and resilience demonstrated by the brave women and men is inspiring. -Katherine Agard, LMSW, author of The Adventures of Albert the Not-so-Ordinary Elephant Series In this final book in the Resilient Women of WWII trilogy, Elaine Stock introduces her readers to two very different women who become friends while hiding in plain sight in war torn Germany. When We Disappeared is a book about friendship, family and love and two brave and resilient women who take dangerous chances to help their families. -Susan Roberts, girl-who-reads.com From the first page, the female characters in When We Disappeared have made me wonder how they will conquer their next endeavor. It was exciting to see how Elsa and Adela's friendship strengthened during this horrible time in our history. It was a privilege to read this story. -Marcia Rossetti, Library Clerk, Upper Hudson Library Systems Chilling. Terrifying. Hopeful. Elaine Stock takes readers on a journey that reveals how far parents will go to protect their family. When We Disappeared is a story of survival and risk for the Jews and Roma hiding in plain sight and for those providing shelter. It's a death sentence for both if discovered. Danger lurks and the threat of betrayal is real at every point of the final book of the Resilient Women of WWII Trilogy. -Eileen Harrison Sanchez, Author of Freedom Lessons - A Novel
