Review this book!
This memoir tells the story of an intergenerational reckoning: the author accompanies her mother on her first trip back to Germany, where her mother comes to terms for the first time with the loss of her parents, who died during the Holocaust. The trip also transforms the life of the author--who is herself expecting a child--by giving her an entirely new perspective on her relationship with her mother.
