"I look at my garden and wonder if we will end up like that in the weeks and months to come -- broken, crushed."
Ruth Mendenberg, a survivor of the Buchenwald concentration camp, has risked her life to help smuggle a group of refugees into Palestine. Now she wants to forget the past and forge a new life. But violence is escalating all around her as Arabs and Jews disagree over the partitioning of Palestine. Ruth will be forced to fight -- and maybe even kill -- in defense of a long-awaited prize: a place to call home. In this sequel to After the War, award-winning author Carol Matas tells the story of one girl's courage during the tumultuous events leading to the birth of the State of Israel.
