Author Description

"As 15-year-old Piri leaves the hospital, she and her older sister Iboya, clinging to each other as they did in the camps, are given loving care in Sweden...[The book] captures, perhaps for the first time in young adult literature, the complexity of what it was like to be a teenage survivor in the first years after liberation."-Booklist. "An eloquent testament to the resiliency of the human spirit."-Pointer/Kirkus Reviews
