Who can you turn to when the only choice is between two evils? In 1941, fifteen-year-old Madli hopes that the Soviet occupation of Estonia is only temporary, but when the neighbours, along with thousands of others, are deported, she knows that their lives are in danger. She longs for the safety of her grandparents' farm. Days later, the Nazis invade her country. Friends and family find themselves divided as they try to choose which dictator they'd rather live under - Hitler or Stalin. Madli is horrified by either choice, but how long can she remain neutral? Every day brings new dangers and unimaginable decisions. In order to survive, Madli knows she can't fight the enemy, so she is determined to outwit them.
