Sample Book Insights:
#1 I was raised Jewish, but I rarely thought about it. I visited Mutti and the rest of the family, who ranged in their degrees of religiosity. I found the whole thing more curious than complicated.
#2 I would go visit my grandmother in Boston, and the trips always began at Back Bay Station. I would sit next to a series of strangers and entertain myself with some sort of word-search activity while my mom and brother sat across the aisle.
#3 Hana’s story was one of many I heard during my trip to Europe. She was born in 1925, and her parents moved the family to Prague, where they made a comfortable life for themselves. She loved her brother immensely, and was a protective big sister.
#4 Hana’s grandparents were far wealthier than her parents. They had a nice house with a beautiful garden, and Hana loved to visit the general store they owned on the main square. She would slip glass rings into her shoes, and when she was allowed to walk the teacher’s dog, she would bring them out so they could be rewarded.
