“In this WWII story like no other, a former investigative reporter for The New York Times tells of her mother and grandparents’ flight from 1938 Germany for France, where, as Jews, they spent four years as refugees. In 1942 they escaped France, to be detained in Cuba for almost two years before emigrating to New York. This meticulously researched and detailed story of their experience includes the lifelong hope that her mother will reunite with her fiance, who waved goodbye from the dock in Marsailles as they fled.”—Cheryl McKeon, Rakestraw Books, Danville, CA and formerly of Third Place Books in Seattle. McKeon wrote about the book and the author in the April 17 edition of Shelf Awareness for Readers. Buy Crossing the Borders of Time from your local indie.
