Indian Country by Tony Hillerman
Rachel is a fifteen-year-old Jewish girl, hiding to stay alive in German-occupied Prague at the end of World War I. Karl is a seventeen-year-old, ethnic-German boy, lured to join the Nazis, who were by then desperate for new recruits. These two unlikely allies are thrown together during the turmoil of Prague's liberation. Despite differences, Rachel and Karl find love. Their feelings for each other blossom even as their families, homes and ways of life are destroyed by the chaos of war and hatred. As the Soviet communist regime tightens its grip on war-torn Prague, they decide to try finding Karl's rural home. Their travels are filled with hardship, and upon reaching their destination they find that only their love offers security. The characters in Where is My Home ? might be fictional, but the incidents are based on real historical events, witnessed by the author.Tony Hillerman (1925-2008) was an American author of award-winning mysteries set on the Navajo Indian reservation featuring Native American policeman Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn and Officer Jim Chee, twelve novels of which made the New York Times bestsellers list.
