- Dead of night and dead of winter; war brings a stranger to the door; a family is tricked into a act of compassion and danger. Later when peace finally arrives in their small town on the German Heide, Freya and her sister are grateful. The fighting is over, so are the Nazi times; the labour camp on the town outskirts will surely be closed now. But with peace come soldiers - English this time - and hundreds of new arrivals: more strangers - forced labourers from across the heathland and beyond, all with their own losses and stories, and all housed in a new camp on the site of the old. Among these refugees are children - Janina and Lukas - waiting and waiting for word of their mother. In Freya's home too there is waiting - to be asked about that snowy night; and family secrets, that Freya and her sister must confront. When is an act of kindness an act of betrayal?
