| Summary: | "Nataliia, a teenager in Ukraine, is at home when she makes a puzzling discovery: a box of letters written from a Jewish boy, Eliezer, about his experience during the Holocaust. At first, Nataliia doesn't understand why her family possesses Eliezer's letters. But as she reads through them, she is able to piece together a fascinating connection--her ancestors [Grigory and Mariya Palidova] were the ones who sheltered Eliezer [and his family] during the war. Decades later, Nataliia and Eliezer's family find each other in the same orbit again--as the world faces conflicts anew"-- |
