Where They Can't Find Me

Poland, 1942. Once a privileged sixteen-year-old girl draped in silk and safety, Ruthie now hides in plain sight, pretending to be a farmer’s daughter named Elaine. With the world at war and the Nazis closing in, Ruthie clings to a fragile disguise on a quiet French farm—until love, loss, and betrayal threaten to shatter everything she’s fought to protect.

Robert, the boy she’s forbidden to love, knows her secrets. Peter, the Nazi officer she’s forced to charm, suspects more than he lets on. When a single photo hidden beneath her mattress sets off a chain reaction, Ruthie must choose between the safety of those she loves and the truth that could destroy them all.

A haunting story of resilience, identity, and impossible choices, Who Is Ruthie? asks how far one girl will go to survive—and what pieces of herself she’ll have to leave behind.
