The Ragged Edge of Night is an emotionally gripping and beautifully written historical novel set during the darkest times of World War II. It tells the story of extraordinary hope and redemption through the journey of Anton Starzmann, a Franciscan friar in Germany, 1942.

Stripped of his place when his school is seized by the Nazis, Anton relocates to a small German hamlet to enter a marriage of convenience with Elisabeth Herter, a widow seeking help to raise her three children. Anton, seeking atonement for failing to protect his young students from the Nazis, finds his life intertwined with Elisabeth's in unexpected ways.

As Anton struggles with his new roles as husband and father, he learns about the Red Orchestra, an underground network plotting to assassinate Hitler. Despite Elisabeth’s reservations, Anton joins this army of shadows. When the SS discovers his schemes, Anton embarks on a final act of defiance, risking everything for the family he has come to love.
