Synopsis: The summer that Patty Bergen turns twelve is a summer that will haunt her forever. When her small hometown in Arkansas becomes the site of a camp housing German prisoners during World War II, Patty learns what it means to open her heart. Even though shes Jewish, she begins to see a prison escapee, Anton, not as a Nazi, but as a lonely, frightened young man with feelings not unlike her own. In Anton, Patty finds someone who softens the pain of her own fathers rejection and who appreciates her in a way her mother never will. While patriotic feelings run high, Patty risks losing family, friends - even her freedom - for this dangerous friendship. It is a risk she has to take and one she will have to pay a price to keep.
