But life is hard in the city, and Papa cannot find work. Rebecca’s greatest fears are realized when she is sent into foster care until Papa can earn more money. She is terrified to discover that she’ll be living with a Ukrainian familyJews and Ukrainians were archenemies in the old country. What if the Kostianuks hate her?
