But the troubles aren't over for the Jews. Families torn apart, separated, trying to reunite... if they're still alive that is. Dov is one of many desperately trying to get to Palestine. The government isn't so fond of this flood of illegal immigrants and is doing their best to stop them. Emily's dad is part of those trying to stop them. Her aunt and uncle are part of those trying to help them. Dov has grown up and made his choices. It's time for Emily to grow up and make hers. Will she take the side of her dad and the government or the side of her aunt and uncle? How will Dov and the others get to Palestine? | Extra Notes: | This series takes place shortly after WWII. It records the process of Jews trying to find a way to put their lives back together as well as those in power who still aren't interested in helping them. Maybe the ordered extermination of their entire race is over, but the battle for the individual lives is not. Robert Elmer takes a very realistic look at both sides of the issue. It is a historical novel done well. | Reviewer: | J:-)mi | Recommendation Scale: | 4 |
