Forty years? accumulation of art, antiques, and family
photographs are more than just objects for Stanley Peke?they are
proof of a life fully lived. A life he could have easily lost long
ago.
When a con man steals his houseful of possessions in a
sophisticated moving-day scam, Peke wanders helplessly through his
empty New England home, inevitably reminded of another helpless
time: decades in Peke's past, a cold and threadbare Stanislaw
Shmuel Pecoskowitz eked out a desperate existence in the war-torn
Polish countryside, subsisting on scraps and dodging Nazi soldiers.
Now, the seventy-two-year-old Peke?who survived, came to America,
and succeeded?must summon his original grit and determination to
track down the thieves, retrieve his things, and restore the life
he made for himself.
Peke and his wife, Rose, trace the path of the thieves? truck
across America, to the wilds of Montana, and to an ultimate,
chilling confrontation with not only the thieves but also with
Peke's brutal, unresolved past.
