Please join us in the Scott Room, where Jennifer Coburn will discuss her historical fiction novel, Cradles of the Reich.
In Cradles of the Reich, Jennifer Coburn takes the reader inside the bucolic Heim Hochland, one of the Nazi breeding homes, where three women's fates are irrevocably intertwined. Gundi is a pregnant university student from Berlin. She is an Aryan beauty, secretly a member of a resistance group. Hilde, only eighteen, is a true believer in the cause and is thrilled to carry a Nazi official's child. And Irma, a 44-year-old nurse, is desperate to build a new life for herself. All three have everything to lose as they begin to realize they are trapped within Hitler’s terrifying scheme to build a Nazi-Aryan nation.
JENNIFER COBURN is the author of We’ll Always Have Paris and six contemporary women’s fiction novels. She has also published hundreds of articles on reproductive rights, racial justice, and family relationships in newspapers and magazines, including The Washington Post, Miami Herald, The Philadelphia Inquirer, and San Diego Magazine.
