Three White Pebbles

When author Wendy Holden was researching and writing her international bestseller Born Survivors, a true story about three young mothers who hid their pregnancies from the Nazis, she found solace in the simple pleasures of searching for pebbles on her local Suffolk beach. When she had collected enough stones, she headed off to Poland, Germany, Slovakia and the Czech Republic to lay three at each of the sites relevant to the story she was crafting. One stone represented each of the three mothers who somehow managed to survive the Holocaust, each with their own 3lbs babies.
