It's a profound agony knowing a loved one is facing danger, heartache, and fear alone...

But it becomes an unequivocal torment when you realize you can do nothing for them.

On the night of August 13th, 1961, Anton Schulz fails in his desperate attempt to save the woman he loves, Ella Kühn, from the division that becomes known as the Berlin Wall.

In her place, she sends her eleven-year-old brother, Josef, into Anton's charge only moments before the Eastern side of the city is irrevocably cut off from the West by rolls of barbed wire and armed soldiers... little did they know that their separation would span twenty-eight years and survive escape attempts, shootings, torture, lies, and betrayal.

This story shares the triumphs and tragedies from Anton's point of view from the Award-Winning Berlin Butterfly Series. Written as a supplement to Ella's voice and to reveal the stark contrasts in the lives of the people of Berlin from 1961 to 1989, Anton is best read at the completion of the original series.
