In this book, Kaplan tells her mother's story. The first few chapters are a bit stilted, as she sets the stage of her mother's childhood. As her mother gets older, her memories are more vivid, just in time for her family to escape Vienna into Shanghai, to a settlement with which few of us are familiar. Their lives are tension filled and their story is one of survival in the face of repeated destruction.
