family alive. When she discovers that the entire ghetto is to be "liquidated"—killed or "resettled" to
concentration camps—she desperately tries to find a way to save her family. She meets a group of young
people who are planning the unthinkable: an uprising against the occupying forces. Mira joins the resistance
fighters who, with minimal supplies and weapons, end up holding out longer against the SS than anyone
had thought possible.
Much longer. For twenty-eight days.
During this time, Mira has to decide where her heart belongs. To Amos, who wants to take as many
Nazis as he can with him to the grave? Or to Daniel, who wants to help the orphans in the shelter? These
are twenty-eight days in which Mira experiences moments of great humanity, betrayal, suffering, and even
moments of happiness.

Narrator Amanda Dolan plunges listeners into the disturbing first-person narrative of 17-year-old Mira, who is attempting to survive in the Warsaw Ghetto and keep her mother and sister alive. Immediately, Dolan reveals the terrible mix of fear and desperation that sends Mira sneaking into the Polish markets to buy and smuggle food back into the despairing ghetto. In an emotive performance Dolan vivifies a world that narrows in possibilities even as Mira's courage, strategic capabilities, and hope widen. Though listeners know the fate of those who lived in the Warsaw Ghetto, Dolan reveals the brutalities, as well the beauty and love, Mira discovers during 28 days of resisting the Nazis. A powerful listen. S.W. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine
