"THAT'S HOW IT WAS. AND THIS IS WHAT IS LEFT."
These are the words of Yonah Steiner. They are also the sound of his spirit, a spirit which beats with bravery, power and hope–and the fierce will to survive. Words that jump from the marrow of memory in this remarkable tale of a child-hero seized by the Nazis on his walk home from school and thrown into a terrifying nightmare that cast him straight into the belly of evil.
This book is also the story of an eighteen-year old girl who travels around the world to search for Yonah, carrying a barely legible address on an old envelope with instructions from her grandfather to "find my brother's son," only to discover a lost family she did not know she had. The author spends the next thirty-eight years painstakingly stitching together Yonah's heart-rending memories; she handles the shattered
bone, bloodied flesh, and trampled psyche of his tale with such tenderness and care that you will weep–and celebrate as Yonah emerges strong and whole.
With a powerful hand, the author writes the steely truth of a family's multi-generational destiny to embrace the remnants of the past and nurture the connective tissue into a solid present and linked future with compassion, endurance, forgiveness–––and love.
