"...a wonderfully uplifting, impressive story".
A young woman, after a series of failed pregnancies, undertakes an amazing journey in search of a toy made by a childless toymaker in 1942 Lidice, Czechoslovakia, a town destroyed during WWII. Drawn by her own longing for
children and a connection to a tale she can't fully understand and with an unlikely new friend and guide in the form a Czech street urchin, she uncovers the incredible history of the small mining village of Lidice and the people who have lived on. As she unravels the mystery of the childless toy, not only does Sarah bring hope and fulfillment to the lives of those she meets along the way, but ultimately, to her own. “With a heartrending score laced with sadness and hope, The ToyMaker is both brave and compassionate and reminds us all of the injustice and forgiveness of mankind."
