- Summary:
- An account of the tumults of a Jewish woman's life during and after World War II is related in this powerful autobiography. Beginning with her childhood struggle to protect her younger siblings from the terrors of Nazi Germany, her story follows her harrowing escape to Britain via the Kindertransport, her new life with foster parents in Wales, and her efforts to establish a family as an adult. The tale provides an impassioned look at the difficulty of her life and times, vividly portraying the horrors of the German air raids, the instability of life during a premature and unhappy first marriage, and the heartrending search for surviving Jewish family in Austria, Israel, and the United States.
