Until the Stars Align
by Carolyn Summer QuinnPublish: Jun 04, 2024Historical Fiction Book Overview
It's June1939. Three young Jewish girls, Rosi, her sister Anni, and their cousin Emilie, wait to board the Kindertransport train that will take them from away Nazi Germany, and a life of discrimination, to kind foster families in England. The parents hate to let them go, but realize it's for their own good, and that it may just be their only chance of survival. When guarded Rosi arrives in London, she's placed in the East End with a welcoming family of "Pearlies," and begins to blossom into the happy young girl she was originally born to be, before the Nazis disrupted her world. Anni goes to live with upper crust foster parents and their shy daughter, and Emilie with a newsagent and his wife. They like their new country and adore their "new parents," but what has happened back home in Berlin to their real parents? By 1945, when the war is over but there's still no answers, Rosi is determined to find out. Will the stars align to bring about a reunion or is it already too late?
