Cyrla''s neighbors have begun to whisper. Her cousin, Anneke,
is pregnant and has passed the rigorous exams for admission to the
Lebensborn, a maternity home for girls carrying German babies. But
Anneke''s soldier has disappeared, and Lebensborn babies are only
ever released to their fathers'' custody--or taken away.And then in
the space of an afternoon, life falls apart. A note is left under
the mat. Someone knows that Cyrla, sent for safekeeping with her
Dutch relatives, is Jewish. She must choose between certain
discovery in her cousin''s home and taking Anneke''s place in the
Lebensborn--Cyrla and Anneke are nearly identical. If she takes
refuge in the enemy''s lair, can Cyrla escape before they discover
she is not who she claims? Mining a lost piece of history, Sara
Young takes us deep into the lives of women living in the worst of
times. Part love story and part elegy for the terrible choices we
must often make to survive, "My Enemy''s Cradle "keens for what we
lose in war and sings for the hope we sometimes find.
