One fateful choice changed their lives forever.
Germany, 1946. Franka narrowly survived the liquidation of the Warsaw Ghetto. Now, with her infant daughter, she leaves her safe haven in Helmstadt for the displaced persons camp in Bergen-Belsen, hoping to find remnants of her Jewish family. She clings to the hope that someone she loves may still be out there, waiting.
Israel, 1976. Elana Rosenfeld has always felt like an outsider. Adopted as a baby, she knows nothing of her birth parents, only that her adoptive parents keep saying, “When you grow up, you’ll know.” But when an unexpected letter arrives with an unfamiliar name, Elana is thrust into a search across continents to uncover her mother’s hidden past.
Will she find the answers she’s longed for, or uncover secrets that change everything?
