"Young and feisty Zelda must escape to far-off America when anti-Semitic villagers accuse her of espionage. She must leave behind her two small children, Yosseleh and Ruchka, her violinist husband Leizer - and life as she's known it. Dramatic enough right there, but then World War II intervenes and makes it impossible for Zelda's family to join her in America. After surviving in the forest with the partisans, Leizer finds himself on a freight train bound for Siberia - alone. When the war ends, Zelda goes back to Europe, determined to find out what happened to her husband and children. Will the family ever be whole again? Will Zelda ever be able to rebuild the tattered relationship with the child she left behind so young? Will Zelda and Leizer find each other once more?"-- Frum Jewish Books website.
