Driven by a blind devotion to the Communist Party, self-centered Katya Karavayeva has broken the most important rule in Soviet society: never say anything that can be used against you. But her shocking duplicity is only the beginning. Soon, Nazi Germany invades, the Soviet Union mobilizes, and Katya joins the conflict in an effort to prove her loyalty. Under attack, she escapes the German storm with a fellow volunteer. After terrifying weeks on the run, Katya finds purpose in her childhood hometown fighting a different kind of war—repaying German brutality with a harsh justice of her own. All the while she struggles with her choices, past and present, and dreams of reunion with her daughter and forgiveness from the husband she betrayed.
The Communist’s Secret is a gripping World War II tale of a complicated heroine. By turns courageous, impulsive, and desperate, she battles the Nazis and her own demons in this story of second chances.
