Summary
*INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER*

In this new novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The House of Eve, one American woman’s vision in post WWII Germany will tie together three people in unexpected and soul-stirring ways.

Ethel Gathers, the proud wife of an American Officer, is living in Occupied Germany in the 1950s. After discovering a local orphanage filled with the abandoned mixed-race children of German women and Black American GI’s, Ethel feels compelled to help find these children homes.

Philadelphia born Ozzie Phillips volunteers for the recently desegregated army in 1948, eager to make his mark in the world. While serving in Manheim, Germany, he meets a local woman, Jelka, and the two embark on a relationship that will impact their lives forever.

In 1965 Maryland, Sophia Clark is given an opportunity to attend a prestigious all white boarding school and escape her heartless parents. While at the school, she discovers a secret that upends her world and sends her on a quest to unravel her own identity.

Toggling between the lives of these three individuals, Keeper of Lost Children explores how one woman’s vision will change the course of countless lives, and demonstrates that love in its myriad of forms—familial, parental, and forbidden, even love of self—can be transcendent.

Amazing storytelling - outstanding narration.

Simply amazing! Excellent historical novel, found characters endearing, realistic with a compelling storyline. Expertly wove lives, cultures, decades and countries together as she shed light on a little known topic of orphaned brown babies in Germany and a passionate campaign to find them American homes. Plenty of light hearted moments to ease you through the plot line. A must read!!

This book written by one of favorite authors was fantastic. I love the way that Sadeqa Johnson tells stories and having read all of her books, this was one of my favorites. I fell in love with the main characters and was rooting for all of them all through the book. I also love the way that Ms. Johnson manages to intertwine fact with fiction. I truly learned more about my history as an African American woman through reading this book, and the narrators were also fantastic as always.
