Impossible Escape: The Audiobook

Share your comments...

My new nonfiction book, Impossible Escape, will be out on August 29. Just saw the first review – a starred review from Kirkus! As usual for me, this book was years in the making, with lots of research – including a trek across southern Poland last summer. Much more to come soon on this story!
