The story focuses on Amanda Sternberg and the plight of her two daughters during WWII. After Amanda and her daughters are forced to leave Poland, there are no good choices for Amanda to ensure the survival of her daughters. Early on, she sends one daughter off to live with her brother in Cuba, and the rest of the story focuses on the survival of her younger daughter, who eventually ends up in the US. I always enjoy historical fiction based on WWII and learn something new with each story. This was good, but not great. 3.5 stars
