Price of Silence

Not all prisoners of war are captured on the frontlines. World War II produced prisoners of all sorts—in all places. Karl Breuer, a hardworking farmer and family man, is a prisoner to his past. Nettie Sato, a teenager like any other, is a prisoner in her own country. Rolfe Schmidt, a determined foreigner, is a prisoner to his hatred.

Life extracts a high price from these three and their families: some for having a sordid past, others for events beyond their control, many for the violence and terror that disrupts their lives. But most costly of all is the price of silence.
