Based on true events.
They took her childhood. They could not take her courage.
Poland, 1939.
When German soldiers storm her village, twelve-year-old Gabriella is torn from her family and thrust into a world of fear and forced labour. Locked in barns, marched across fields, and watched by guards with rifles and dogs, she learns quickly that survival depends on courage, faith, and the fragile bonds of friendship.
Each day brings hunger, humiliation, and endless work under the eyes of Farmer Steiner and his watchful Frau. Yet in the darkest nights, Gabriella becomes a light for the other children with her, comforting Ania when shame overwhelms her, urging Marek to endure his cough, steadying Olek and Wague when despair creeps close.
Inspired by the incredible true journey of the author’s mother, Gabriella is a story of resilience, innocence under siege, and the unbreakable will of a girl who refused to surrender her humanity in the face of unimaginable cruelty.
This is not only Gabriella’s story.
It is the story of every child caught in the storm of war.
