The Photographer’s Secret

“Fantastic!!! Wow!… It’ll pull all the heartstrings. The most beautiful heartfelt story.” Little_blue_boo_hutch, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Maggie’s hands tremble as she lowers her camera, unable to bear the little girl’s haunted eyes pleading at her from behind the gates. This camp is hell on earth. And this roll of film is enough for the Nazis to kill her. But she won’t rest until the world knows the truth…

Germany, 1944: Maggie Sullivan takes her first steps into enemy territory, armed only with a camera and a US press pass. Her hands shake as she snaps pictures of the destruction, trying to push down her fear. She’s here to do a job. A job no one thought a woman could do. But the danger Maggie is in is larger than anyone knows, because Maggie has a secret…

Maggie was born in Berlin. She and her mother fled in the night, wrenched from her blue-eyed younger brothers as they slept. The US Army are Maggie’s protectors for now, but she wakes each night in a cold sweat wondering: what will they do if they discover her past?

Every day Maggie works tirelessly to prove the horrifying truth of the labour camps and help the victims of war any way she can, smuggling medicine and reassuring them in whispered German. But then, just as she inches closer to the barbed wire to photograph the innocent lives she knows she must save, she sees an inscription on an officer’s report that grips her with an ice-like fear. Her family’s name…

Fans of The Tattooist of Auschwitz, The Alice Network and The Choice will be completely gripped by this emotional and heart-stopping page-turner. An utterly unforgettable story of family, courage and heartbreak, and one woman’s bravery in the face of unimaginable evil.
