“Powerful, moving, and well-written.” -Greg Fields, National Book Award nominated author of The Bright Freight of Memory
When Dahlia, the courageous daughter of an Ecuadorian embassy official, sees how Germany is changing as Adolf Hitler’s reign takes hold, she knows she must act.
Her best friend, Werner, and his family have been ostracized and endangered, and she can’t stand to see them suffer. With a new identity, Werner hesitantly finds a new beginning as part of the Aviles family back in Ecuador.
He and Dahlia must balance the typical growing pains of youth with the distance in culture and geography for Werner.
Based on true accounts from Holocaust survivors, THE CENTER OF THE EARTH gives a heartwarming yet heartwrenching firsthand look at what it means to be a family.
