Summary
Caroline Hartzinger fled wartime Europe with a shattered life and a devastating secret. Pregnant and unwed, she arrived in America in 1939. Joel Hirsch offered marriage and respectability, hoping one day to earn her love, if not the passion for a man whose memory haunted them both. With Joel, Caroline built a new life, determined to bury the past-until her daughter Eve brought Caroline's crafted world crashing down again, driven by a rage to learn the truth. It was Eve's secret now, a legacy that tainted her life and put generations at risk. But it came with a gift a new sisiter, young enough to be her own daughter, who would offer hope, then a truth that would finally break apart the hold of the past.
When it becomes obvious that World War II is imminent, Caroline Hartzinger and her adopted older sister, Lore, flee from Berlin to Geneva. Walter, who plans to wed Caroline, goes with them. Life takes a dramatic turn and Caroline and Lore escape to America alone. But their time in Switzerland provides a legacy that affects several generations. 1998.
