This is the true story of Miriam Winter who was born in Poland and at the age of 6 in 1941 was sent away from her home. She never saw her parents, Grandparents or younger brother after that. The next twelve years she survived WW 2 by moving from city to city and living with various people in various circumstances, this is her story of survival. She changed her name twice to hide the fact that she was a jew. This is a very touching and interesting story, if you enjoy reading stories of survival you will like this one. It does not contain alot of graphic war content just her life experiences as a child and young adult.
