“This was the second book I read from C.K. McAdam and just as powerful as her first that I read! The storytelling an amazing weaving together of characters and their separate lives and personalities, their choices that hurt and healed, and the beautiful and devastating consequences that came of it all. I found myself eager to get to my reading each day, rooting for characters and raging at others. In the end, I was left with a beautiful ending and a full heart, once again.”

“There is a lot packed into this fast-paced book that actively begins in 1932 and continues through the British pulling out of Palestine. This one offers a different glimpse, even if you've read other books about Ravensbruk and Auschwitz. And yes, you will be horrified & heartbroken as this family is shattered. The author continues the story after WW II ends, into the displaced persons camps of Europe, including the obstacles Jews faced in trying to enter Palestine. I highly recommend this well-written, powerful novel detailing the plight of a German-Jewish family of seamstresses. If you love historical fiction, you won't want to miss this one. It's going to stay with me for a long time.”
