This is a true story about a young girl growing up in an upperclass, half German-Jewish, half Austrian-Jewish family who, along with her parents, flees from their family home in the baroque city of Dresden and resettles in thesafety of America. A poignant and compelling child's eye-view of the observations, hopes and dreams of a pre-teenager whose childhoodwas buffeted by the rise of anti-Semitism and the difficulties of adapting to the strange new cultureof the United States.
