After the Kristallnacht pogrom in 1938, nearly 10,000 Jewish children were sent abroad without their parents, to escape Nazi Germany. Edith M. Baer was one of these children.
In England Edith lived with a mismatched couple, ill prepared to fill the gaping chasm left by the bereft child's loss of family, home, and native language. Malaise and loneliness engulf her. A Disney character bouncing out of the child's book becomes her cherished companion.
In her effort to take Edith to America to unite with her parents, her aunt Erna must battle every hurdle and obstacle a bureaucracy can toss her way.
