Her father is a respected doctor, and she has a warm circle of good friends from church, from girl guides, and from school. Perhaps her mother is nervous and a bit odd she seems incapable of leaving the house alone and there is never any talk of the life they left behind in Hungary, but every family has its quirks.Alexandras world is turned upside down when she discovers a secret that her parents have kept. They are not Catholic, as Alexandra believes. They are Jewish. Alexandras view of her parents, of her friends, and of the society in which she lives is turned upside down by her discovery. Who is she and where does she really belong?From the Trade Paperback edition.
