‘You must get away tonight,’ the man had told him.

David escapes from the concentration camp where he has spent his entire life and flees across Europe. He is utterly alone – who can he trust? What will await him? And all the while, how can he be sure that they won’t catch up with him . . .

This is the remarkable story of David’s introduction to the world: sea, mountains and flowers, the colours of Italy, the taste of fruit, people laughing and smiling, all are new to David. David learns that his polite manner, his haunted eyes and his thin features are strange to other people. He must learn to fend for himself in this strange new world.

An incredible story of survival against all odds and self discovery, for readers of The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas and The Book Thief.

Is that enough to survive?

The interplay of the written word and the painted image converge in Ann Holmes' skillfully crafted poetry. Holmes gets inside the action of a poem, imagining what it is like to be the atomic bomb in Hiroshima, a goat in Greece, spring beginning, acloud refusing to change its form. Love, loss, wonder, and the quirkiness of life leap off the page.

""How rich a palette, poet-artist Ann Holmes' brings to her second collection "A Leaf Called Socrates." How powerful is her artist pen as she approaches biblical and ancient figures as intimates. "I glaze a Bosch bubble/around Adam and Eve/so they may stay in the garden." With engines of irony and honesty, her poem "When I knew," creates a loving reproach to intimate family encounters. Her poems, revealing human frailties, glow nonetheless, with color and affection. After her sojourn as an artist in Japan, she evokes a place where 'Seven round holes/one above the other/"exist, "as if the moon/ dropped out/ ofthe sky." In this new collection of poetry, her language, phrase and imagery paint emotional hues to reveal people in their flaws and creative gifts.""
-Lou Barrett, author of "Connecting Flights, Doors Gates" and "Portals, Clotheslines"

With her second child, she struggled to keep it to term and she was successful. When she found herself pregnant with her third child, she was living in a small town with new doctors. She and her husband were not planning on this pregnancy for many reasons. Due to her past problems during pregnancy, she sees her new OB/GYN frequently to hopefully have a healthy pregnancy.

The baby weighs fifteen ounces and is only twelve inches long. Now begins the fight for her daughter, and the fight with her emotions. How can she do this? At fifteen ounces, how can she survive? What will she be like if she does? For the author, there is her guilt, her emotions, and lots of time in different NICUs.
