“heart-stopping, heartwarming, and extremely difficult to put down”

“This heart-stopping yet heartwarming story of the Kurc family ebbs and flows beautifully, but always leaves the reader with the desire to keep going, keep turning the pages…I came away with a greater understanding [of the Holocaust]…and I also walked away with a new sense of, and pride in, the human spirit.” –more from Historical Fiction Addiction

In conversation with dear friend and uber talented theater director Tommy Kail @ Barnes & Noble, Upper West Side
