INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER *A Today Show #ReadWithJenna Book Club Pick* *An Indie Next Great Read* A vivid depiction of a family's heartbreak, its rending and rebuilding. - Clare Lombardo, New York Times Book Review In 1930s Germany, Annelise dreams of her future while working at her parents' bakery in Feldenheim. Despite rising anti-Jewish sentiment, her family believes they are safe due to their secular lifestyle. As Annelise experiences love, marriage, and motherhood with her daughter Ruthie, the dangers become more apparent: a brick through the window, a friend’s betrayal, and customers abandoning the bakery. When an opportunity arises to flee to America, Annelise and her husband must leave her parents behind, uncertain of their fate. Decades later, in a small Midwestern city, Clare, Ruthie's daughter and Annelise's granddaughter, finds her grandmother's letters from Germany. These letters reveal the sacrifices made by her family, forcing Clare to confront an impossible choice between honoring the past and pursuing her future. This novel, rich in emotional depth and inspired by letters from the author's own family, explores the intricate bonds between mothers and daughters, as well as themes of duty, obligation, hope, and forgiveness.
