In the final days of World War II, Emil and Adeline Martel are faced with an impossible choice: remain in Ukraine and risk Stalin’s wrath, or flee west with the Nazi officers they fear and despise.
Descendants of German farmers who’ve tilled Ukrainian soil for generations, the Martels know that survival means choosing the lesser evil. What follows is a harrowing odyssey across a war-torn continent, as they dodge death, endure betrayal, and cling fiercely to hope.
Inspired by a true story, The Last Green Valley traces one family’s perilous path to freedom through some of the darkest moments in history. With remarkable detail and emotional resonance, Mark Sullivan explores faith, endurance, and the indomitable will to keep going—even when the world is falling apart.
