In 1930s Berlin, Bertie, a trans man deeply involved in the city's vibrant queer scene, sees his world shattered by the rise of Nazism. Forced to flee with his girlfriend, they adopt new identities on a secluded farm, living in constant fear for over a decade. Their quiet existence is disrupted by the arrival of a young trans survivor, leading them to make a perilous choice to protect him from the very forces meant to liberate them. This novel, inspired by true events, offers a poignant look at resilience, love, and a hidden chapter of trans history during WWII.
