In 1938, a 17-year-old German girl received a letter from a stranger living in the Belgian Congo, in the primitive heart of Africa. The writer was a young Jewish doctor who had been forced to leave his German homeland. "Get out of Europe before it's too late," the young man soon pleaded with Rosemarie, his new pen pal. In the aftermath of shattered glass and lives on Kristallnacht, the Nazis' crushing invasion of Poland, and a world declaration of war, Rosemarie was faced with a decision - whether to follow her heart to this stranger, or to wait with her parents for visas to America. As the Nazis cast their menacing shadow over the Marienthal family and the entire European continent, Rosemarie wavered. Comes a Little Light is a love story that you will not forget, and a rare story of hope amidst this war's tragic ashes.
