About Margaret’s Last Prayer:
When fourteen-year-old Margaret Laemmer awakens in the morning, she has no idea a meeting on the river will lead to her to risk her life. In an act of raw courage, she saves two gypsy boys from drowning. The boys’ mother rewards her with an identical pair of amulets, telling her they will bring good fortune to whomever she gives them.
In the dying days of the Second World War, two enemy soldiers, come face to face in Germany on the banks of the Elbe River. Each soldier wears an amulet identical to the other. One is determined to kill the other.
