This is a great book about secrets and what they do to people and families. It's an incredible story of what people can endure in the most frightening and difficult circumstances and how it affects their lives. A look at war, the human soul, family, religion and identity.

This woman's experience finding out about her hidden Jewish heritage was interesting, enjoyable to read, and felt personal. She has a way of bring the reader into the story and making you feel the emotions she felt.

This book is fantastic. It was fascinating to read not only the story of Helen Fremont's family, but also her exhaustive search to discover their past. The author clearly put in a lot of time and energy in this book and it shows. Book is a quick read and I would definitely recommend it.
