Two Marias

FROM THE PRIZE-WINNING AUTHOR OF MY QUEST FOR PEACE *** WINNER OF THE BAMAHANE PRIZE *** Inspired by the lives of two World War II heroines, this remarkable debut novel reveals the incredible power of two women who changed history in their quest for love, freedom, and second chances.

In their early teens, two girls were forced to sit next to each other in school. Although they were complete opposites -- one a social butterfly and the other a withdrawn bookworm -- they soon realized that they shared similar experiences, hopes and dreams. Over time, they became best friends, against all expectations.

Until the war broke out.

Now, each was thrown into a new life, on opposite sides of the conflict. And mistakes were made -- unforgivable mistakes, that would shape both their futures.

How could their friendship possibly endure?

BASED ON A TRUE STORY, with an appendix including authentic documents.
