Synopsis:

A German pastor, Josef Schumacher joins the resistance movement against Hitler, hoping to save his young parishoners from the evils of Nazism. Original.

From Library Journal:

In 1939, Pastor Josef Schumacher's native Germany has become a nightmare of Nazi activism spreading its poisonous grip throughout his congregation and infecting the bright teenagers he has watched grow up. When one of his teens turns in his own father for listening to BBC broadcasts, an action that results in the man's execution, Josef can no longer remain uninvolved. Even though his pregnant wife begs him not to call attention to himself, Josef is drawn deeper into the resistance, risking his life daily. Cavanaugh ("An American Family Portrait" series) examines the lives of ordinary Germans who did not stand by while their countrymen began the wholesale slaughter of Jews. His portrayal of the impact of one man's work on the lives of others fits well on the shelf with Laurel Schunk's A Clear North Light (LJ 4/1/01). Highly recommended.
