Book trailer: The Plum Tree


“Bloom where you’re planted,” is the advice Christine receives from her beloved Oma. But seventeen-year-old domestic Christine knows there is a whole world waiting beyond her small German village. It’s a world she’s begun to glimpse through music, books—and through Isaac, the cultured son of the wealthy Jewish family she works for.Yet the future she and Isaac dream of sharing faces greater challenges than their difference in stations. In the fall of 1938, Germany is changing rapidly under Hitler’s regime and a new law forbids Christine from returning to her job—and from having any relationship with Isaac. In the months and years that follow, Christine will confront the Gestapo’s wrath and the horrors of Dachau, desperate to be with the man she loves, to survive—and finally, to speak out.  Set against the backdrop of the German home front, Ellen Wiseman's The Plum Tree is an unforgettable novel of courage and resolve, of the inhumanity of war, and the heartbreak and hope left in its wake.
