Hannah Altman has struggled through the Great Depression with her small family. Through a combination of perseverance and skill she has become a well-known advice columnist. Hannah is content with her life-she has a successful career, a loving husband, and two grown children. But like all Jewish mothers, she worries. Her son has yet to marry and is serving in the army as a chaplain during World War II. Her daughter, Franny, is thousands of miles away, working on a kibbutz in Israel. When her son, Solly, sends her a letter announcing his wedding plans to a young Polish survivor, Hannah is elated but also concerned. The two young lovers met in post-war Germany while Solly was working to help those who survived the Holocaust. Ironically, he fell in love with one them, a beautiful Polish Displaced Person. How will Hannah's new daughter-in-law, Basha, be able to navigate a new life in New York City? How will she fit in? Basha's wartime experiences are the stuff of nightmares, and she has secrets that Hannah wants to learn. As she reveals herself to Hannah, she begins to heal. Hannah's Letters is a story of hope and resilience. Hannah, a woman who gives advice that tens of thousands read, finds herself both intrigued and inspired by this strong, mysterious Polish woman.
