Fiction by Kristin Harmel
In this story there is an old woman who lives like a hermit in the forests of Poland and Germany; in 1922 she feels compelled to steal a girl-child from a pair of budding Nazis in Berlin. From this strange beginning comes Yona, a girl raised completely in the wild but educated by her foster mother for a strange destiny neither of them understands. It's only when the Germans invade Poland and small bands of refugee Jews take to the forest that Yona understands her true purpose is to help these broken people survive.
This was a really good story with some unusual twists.
