A
plucky, resourceful (17-year old) half-Jewish girl is caught in the
whirlwind of World War II. The story set against a dangerous, exciting
and momentous period of history, provides a fascinating picture of
life in the Stalin's Russia, in Nazi occupied territories, and in
Germany during Allied bombardment.

A book
not to be missed. An enthralling true tale with more
unpredictable twists and turns than a Rocky Mountain goat-track, with
unique and sharply-drawn characters who stay with you long after you
close the book, and with a young center
character overflowing with
charm and joie de vivre -- all told in a simple and ever-readable style that never gets in
the way of the story. All in all, a valuable addition to the history of
an appalling period of European history, and a tribute to the human
spirit's capacity for finding -- and offering love and friendship and
joy even in the midst of national and personal catastrophe. I say
again, don't miss that one.
From Ken Pierce, Houston
