After liberation from Auschwitz, fourteen-year-old Elli, her brother,
and their mother attempt to rebuild their lives in Czechoslovakia. But
it doesn't take long for Elli to realize that even though the war is
over, anti-Semitism is not, so she and her family decide to escape to
America along with thousands of other Jews. Little do they know what
agonies and adventures await them still.
Elli's memoir of her experiences after Auschwitz will captivate readers
as they follow her through heartache, frustration, adventure,
excitement, love, and ultimately, triumph.
