1919 Siberia. Michal—a young, sheltered girl—has eyes for a man other than her betrothed. In her traditional Jewish settlement, arranged marriages are a fact of life. However, destiny has other plans for Michal.
When a Cossack pogrom shatters her small village, she is forced to leave her home and embark on a journey to Berlin with the man she thought she wanted.
Facing love, loss, and heartache, Michal harbors a secret that threatens her every attempt at happiness. Over the next fourteen tumultuous years, during the peak of the Weimar Republic, she learns she is willing to do anything to have the love she longs for and to protect her family.
But it is now 1933. Life in Berlin is changing, especially for the Jews. With Adolf Hitler's rise to chancellor, dark storm clouds loom on the horizon, threatening to change everything for Michal forever.
