Keep The Change: A Tale of Resilience, Identity, & the Price of Survival

By Mark Rubin

This sweeping historical novel brings to life a family's extraordinary resilience in the face of unimaginable challenges.

When a 99-year-old patriarch faces the end of an era, a forgotten Cartier watch surfaces, pulling his grandchildren and great-grand-children into a vivid retelling of their ancestors' harrowing fight to survive Nazi-occupied Europe. As secrets and sacrifices unfold, the family discovers the enduring ties that bind them across generations.

The story spans decades and continents, tracing the journey of Rudolf Weiss and his sister Ruthie as they navigate love, loss, and survival during one of history's darkest periods. From the industrial heart of Springfield, Massachusetts, to war-torn Austria, Keep the Change captures the idomitable spirit of a family determined to survive and fight back despite overwhelming odds. At its heart, it is a testament to hope and the enduring legacy of those who came before us.
