Diane Tuckman and Cecile Spiegel fled religious persecution with
WWII conflicts at their heels. Separately, from Egypt and from
Germany, each leaped continents, cultures, and languages as a
refugee before finding a new home in the United States. Hiding in
plain sight in France, Cecile eluded capture by the Nazis, but lost
many dear to her. Diane came of age there, far from the
Mediterranean idyll of her childhood in Egypt. They relied on
family, faith, and resilience to overcome the otherness felt by
displaced peoples. As they dictated their memoirs to one another,
Diane and Cecile discovered the anatomy of their friendship in
their parallel odysseys and the optimism of 20th-century American
womanhood.
