I am Sasha

About this book
It is German-occupied Poland in 1942 and Jewish lives are at risk. Nazi soldiers order young boys to pull down their trousers to see if they are circumcised. Many are summarily shot or sent to the camps. A remarkable mother takes an ingenious step. To avoid suspicion, she trains her teenage son to be a girl: his clothing, voice, hair, manners and more. Together, mother and son face incredible odds as their story sweeps backwards and forwards across occupied Europe.

EXCERPT
I lie here and think of home, of Poland and my beautiful town of Lwów. There are times when I cannot tell if I’m dreaming or if I’m awake. I remember so many things. But there’s one day that haunts me still, whether I’m awake or asleep.
