Bookseller recommendation

“Sadeqa Johnson weaves a story around the abandoned mixed-race children of German women and African-American GIs and the woman who made it her mission to find homes for them. Highly recommend!”
— Rachel Stafeil • Sidetrack Bookshop

Bookseller recommendation

“A wonderful historical fiction book that is based on a real woman who had been forgotten in history. The narrator reads this story with heartfelt compassion as she tells it through three storylines that are interconnected. Although the story is one of hardship and sadness the author manages to tell how hard the women work to do good after WWII. You will learn a lot and enjoy the stories along the way. ”
— Mollie • HearthFire Books

Bookseller recommendation

“A well-written historical fiction that informs you of an obvious side effect of war and the struggles of real people to minimize its impact. The narrative weaves the story from three main characters from different times into one historically based plot. ”
— Meg M. • Valley Bookseller

In this new novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The House of Eve, one American woman’s vision in post WWII Germany will tie together three people in an unexpected way.Ethel Gathers, the proud wife of an American Officer, is living in Occupied Germany in the 1950s. After discovering a local orphanage filled with the abandoned mixed-race children of German women and Black American GI’s, Ethel feels compelled to help find these children homes. Philadelphia born Ozzie Phillips volunteers for the recently desegregated army in 1948, eager to make his mark in the world. While serving in Manheim, Germany, he meets a local woman, Jelka, and the two embark on a relationship that will impact their lives forever. In 1965 Maryland, Sophia Clark is given an opportunity to attend a prestigious all white boarding school and escape her heartless parents. While at the school, she discovers a secret that upends her world and sends her on a quest to unravel her own identity. Toggling between the lives of these three individuals, Keeper of Lost Children explores how one woman’s vision will change the course of countless lives, and demonstrates that love in its myriad of forms—familial, parental, and forbidden, even love of self—can be transcendent.
