A Story I’ve Been Waiting to Share

A Story I’ve Been Waiting to Share

A big HELLO to all my favorite readers!

Today is release day for my new novel, The Girl with the List, and I’m so excited to finally share it with you.

While researching Auschwitz for this book, one thought kept following me around:

What would it feel like to suddenly see someone you love in a place where survival depends on impossible choices?

In The Girl with the List, Rosalie is forced into a role where she must decide whether prisoners are "fit" to survive another day.

One brutal winter day, she recognized the person standing in front of her...Stefan, the man she once hoped to build a life with.

After believing she’d lost him for good, she now has only seconds to decide whether she can save him… or watch him disappear.

Stories like Rosalie and Stefan’s remind me that even in the darkest moments of history, love still found ways to endure.


You can find The Girl with the List here: Start Reading Now


If you enjoy emotional WWII stories like The Tattooist of Auschwitz or The Midwife of Auschwitz, this story may be for you.

It’s also available in Kindle Unlimited for those who read there.

If you do end up reading it, I would be truly grateful if you had a quick second to leave a review. Even a sentence or two helps other readers discover the story.

Thank you so much for being part of this journey with me! I can't wait to hear what you think about the book!

xoxo

Shari
