Second Spring, A Lebensborn Story

Love conquers all. And in Second Spring, A Lebensborn Story, author Feodor F. Cruz illustrates love’s awesome power to overcome prejudice and hatred, loneliness and malaise.

In this gorgeous historical romance, Cruz explores the depths of human nature through the eyes of a Filipino man who is wandering through the world, seeking answers to humanity’s biggest questions.

He unwittingly finds what he is looking for in a beautiful, young German whose inner light is being snuffed out by social forces unbeknownst to her. Although their summer encounter is short-lived, their spiritual bond endures. But by the time he realizes he needs her more than anything else in his life, she has disappeared.

His search to find her leads him to Lebensborn, a Nazi program that provided aid to unwed mothers of babies known to be of proper racial stock, many of them sired by SS members. While the program was covered up in postwar Germany, Lebensborn children and their mothers were ostracized.

His exploration of what lies within the human heart takes him not only into darkness but ultimately, into the bright light of the human soul’s capacity to heal.
