THE NEXT WORDS HE WRITES COULD BE HIS LAST . . .
Austria, 1938: The Vienna Writers Circle meets at Café Mozart to share hopeful stories during a hopeless time.
But when the Nazis take over, everything changes. With their Jewish families' now under threat, the writers hide using false identities, their stories becoming their only salvation.
Then a local policeman begins a dangerous mission to help them. But he faces conflicts of his own: having declared his love for a beautiful Romani-gypsy girl, Deya Reynes, he fears that she too will be sent to her death.
When all they have left is courage, will they survive?
