New release! For My Child, Alex Amit's powerful new book about a mother's efforts to protect her young son amidst the rising tides of N**i Germany, is now available at Audible, Amazon and iTunes.

In author's words:

Danzig, late summer 1939. Elke, a young German woman, has everything—a loving family, a devoted husband, and a carefree seven-year-old son playing on the sun-drenched beaches. But in the blink of an eye, her world shatters as war breaks, engulfing her family and forever altering the course of her life.

When her husband answers the call to serve in the German army, Elke is left alone to manage their small family farm. Her strength is tested beyond measure when she receives the devastating news: her husband has been killed on the battlefields of France. Now a widow, Elke must navigate the treacherous waters of wartime Germany while protecting her most precious treasure—her son.

With each passing day, she must make impossible choices that will determine not only her fate but that of her beloved child. Should she defy the N**is and risk everything? Can she find the courage to help those fleeing persecution? And what kind of future awaits her son in this maelstrom of violence and ideology?
