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.

Amazing Story -- You won't be able to put it down! -  |
My Enemy's Cradle Review |
|
In "My Enemy's Cradle," Sara Young weaves a twisted story based on historical facts. The result is captivating. Cyrla's life is turned on it's side over and over again in this shocking story of love lost, the holocaust and the innocence lost during the nazi propoganda campaign.
I'd HIGHLY recommend this story, I picked it up and couldn't put it down until it had been read straight through. I was on the edge of my seat for this nail biter to see if Cyrla could lie in the lion's den and remain unscathed, yet found the twists and turns of the book to be somewhat bittersweet. If you want a great read, BUY THIS BOOK! |

A Good Read - |
My Enemy's Cradle Review |
|
Sara Young's debut novel opens in Occupied Holland. After her mother's tragic death and her father and brother's disappearance, half Jewish and blond Cryla, is passing as Dutch and living with her mother's family. As the rules for Jews become increasingly stricter and the risk becomes too great, she finds a way into the exclusive Lebensborn program. Lebensborn, the cradle of life, is a German ran maternity house that breeds future soldiers for the glory of Germany. "The pram is mightier than the tank," or so they say. In order to successfully navigate the program she will need to pose as her cousin, become pregnant, and hide her heritage. Everyday will be a fight to survive, and if she does she still has to escape... Though brave and determined Cyrla is left with very few people she can trust, many secrets, and certain death to her and her loved ones if she is caught.
The story is part historical romance and greater parts an uneasy reminder into one of history's dark periods. Although the subject matter at time is unsettling, the novel is packed with suspense and surprises. |

I LOVE THIS BOOK!!!! - |
My Enemy's Cradle Review |
|
This book was so great! I absolutely loved it. I am actually feeling kind of down right now because I finished it and don't know if I will be able to find another book as good. I actually had to sit up for the last 6 chapters because I was so into it. I loved that it was such a great story with fictional characters but had some historical facts as well mixed in. It had such a great romance story in it as well. Sara Young I am your newest #1 fan!!
It reminded me somewhat of The Kommandant's Girlwhich I loved as well. |

My Enemy's Cradle Review |
|
I thought this book was quite entertaining. It kept me enthralled and turning the page so I was pleased. I do however feel that it almost fits better into the young adult category - even considering its dark subject matter. The narrative voice felt a little like something I'd read as a teenager, but I would recommend this book to anyone who likes to curl up with an entertaining read. |
