"It was a twisted propaganda ploy to blame Germany's defeat on a group that made up less than one percent of Germany's total population. It was a brazen lie, but to Hitler and the Nazis, truth did not matter." - The Boys In The Light by Nina Willner

From author Nina Willner:
Happy to share that THE BOYS IN THE LIGHT will be published in Hungary (Mont Blanc válogatás) ! Here's the Hungarian cover for my last book FORTY AUTUMNS, one of my very favorite international edition covers ever.

It’s more than just bad priorities. It’s about lack of basic decency.

A tweet from BrooklynDad_Defiant! says: “No words. If you think a golden ballroom is more important than childhood cancer research... I have nothing left to say to you.” The image shows an illustration of a bald child in a hospital gown, holding an IV pole and looking into an opulent golden ballroom filled with formally dressed adults.

The idea of Americans having to be forced to ID themselves and wait to see if they are wanted while everyone is cuffed, because of

"Where they chose to live and by their skin color"

Is FASCISM

stop pretending it isn't

@ninawillner.bsky.social The accolades are pouring in for THE BOYS IN THE LIGHT. Now the audio version is out and for its gripping predecessor FORTY AUTUMNS (per screenshot).
