On an isolated farm children are being hunted and running for their lives . . .
Twins David and Dennis Pischke's lives change forever when their father dies and an soldier damaged by the war arrives at their farm near the town of Moosehorn, Manitoba in a remote region of Canada. Boleslaw Domko quickly works his way into their lives and soon becomes their stepfather.
In this first-hand account, the twins recall a decade of starvation and enslavement. They endure horrific beatings and spend candlelit nights in the nearby church or makeshift huts in the bush surrounding their isolated farm. Neighbors witness their neglect and intervene but their efforts provide only temporary relief as the department of social services fails them and their mother is reluctant to press charges as she too is living in fear.
This is their story, told with stark honesty and in heart-wrenching detail. It is a gripping, unforgettable testament to the strength and adaptability of the human spirit-a story that will keep you awake late into the night until the last page is turned.
"I became so captivated by the story and the hardships these kids endured. I always rave about this amazing book. I give it a 10." - Cailey MaryBeth Olson.
