w00t!
Yay, my sister's book has customer reviews over on Amazon.com: T4 by Ann LeZotte! It is, apparently, a "pithy, piercing book!" This is starting to get really, really exciting!
The official summary:
My favorite quote from a review:
Ms. LeZotte manages to meld history's big picture and Paula's little story into one narrative, the greatest challenge for historical fiction. History is nearer after one reads this book, through the eyes of one young woman. The straight, strong voice of the Deaf rings through these pages, and the spirit of all persecuted people burns here, flare-bright.
Peace, Ghani
The official summary:
It is 1939. Paula Becker, thirteen years old and deaf, lives with her family in a rural German town. As rumors swirl of disabled children quietly disappearing, a priest comes to her family's door with an offer to shield Paula from an uncertain fate. When the sanctuary he offers is fleeting, Paula needs to call upon all her strength to stay one step ahead of the Nazis.

It's weird and kind of...stunning in the most literal sense to read other people's reviews; I've lived with the book so long, reading and re-reading it, that to have it hit home that it's going to be published is just...mind-boggling!
Hugs! :-D
