Summary

"From critically acclaimed author Kip Wilson comes a gripping historical novel in verse about Gerda Taro, a headstrong photojournalist with a passion for capturing the truth. The daughter of Polish Jewish immigrants, Gerda Pohorylle doesnt quite fit in with her German classmates. While shes away at boarding school, however, she becomes a master at reinventing herself as a vibrant, confident young woman. When Hitler comes to power, she joins a group of your activists and is arrested for distributing anti-nazi propaganda. Upon release, Gerda realizes she must leave Germany. Once settled in Paris, Gerda meets André Friedmann, a Hungarian photographer eager for fame and fortune, who fosters her interest in photography. Together the pair reinvents their brand of photojournalism under the names Robert Capa and Gerda Taro, and soon theyre selling their photos for high prices. Eventually, Gerdas assignments lead her to Spain to cover the growing conflict that is becoming the Spanish civil War, part of events preceding World Ward II. As Gerda pushes closer and closer to the front line, eager to capture the lives and hopes of Spanish republican forces fighting against fascism, she steadily loses sight of her own safety in order to capture the perfect shot."--, Inside front jacket flap
