The true story of a German-Jewish love that overcame the burdens of
the past. Finalist for the 2017 Book of the Year Award by the
Chicago Writers Association “A book that is hard to put down.”
—Jerusalem Post “This book confirms Annette Gendler as an
indispensable Jewish voice for our time." —Yossi Klein Halevi,
author of Like Dreamers "The ghosts of the past haunt a woman’s
search for herself in this thoughtful, poignant memoir about the
transformative power of love and faith.” —Hillary Jordan,
author of Mudbound, now a Netflix movie “An exquisitely
written conversion story which expounds upon personal and
collective identity.” —Washington Independent Review of Books
“A compelling, gracefully written memoir about the impact of the
past on the present.” —Michael Steinberg, author of Still
Pitching History was repeating itself when Annette fell in love
with Harry, a Jewish man, the son of Holocaust survivors, in
Germany in 1985. Her Great-Aunt Resi had been married to a Jew in
Czechoslovakia before World War II―a marriage that, while happy,
put the entire family in mortal danger once the Nazis took over
their hometown in 1938. Annette and Harry’s love, meanwhile, was
the ultimate nightmare for Harry’s family. Not only was their son
considering marrying a non-Jew, but a German. Weighed down by the
burdens of their family histories, Annette and Harry kept their
relationship secret for three years, until they could forge a path
into the future and create a new life in Chicago. Annette found a
spiritual home in Judaism―a choice that paved the way toward
acceptance by Harry’s family, and redemption for some of the
wounds of her own family’s past.
