This memoir recounts the author's white-knuckle escape at age seven
through Poland and across Russia-the German war machine always two
steps behind. Reunited in New York, she and her parents settle in
Manhattan but peace remains out of reach as domestic turmoil,
eccentric refugee friends, Zionist summer camp and an environment
of political and ideological uncertainties create a life fraught
with new adversities. She and her friend plot a life of artistic
escape and greatness. With her father she's held tight in a chafing
bond of love and rebellion. A failed marriage, artistic and
existential despair, and disillusionment with post-World War II
American society drive her to escape again, this time to paint in
Spain. But peace remains out of reach there, too, despite a love
affair, a conversion to Catholicism, and efforts at religious
dedication. This chronicle of Jewish escape from Europe tracks the
twists and turns of that displacement, and an immigrant
generation's struggle to build a new life in America.
