Item description from seller

Neuware - Threads of Hope is a work of historical narrative nonfiction that tells the true story of three Basque sisters separated as children during the Spanish Civil War and World War II, and the long, uncertain path toward reunion that followed. Through their experiences, the book explores how war reshapes childhood, scatters families across borders, and leaves legacies that echo across generations.In 1937, as aerial bombings devastate northern Spain, seven-year-old twins Alicia and Araceli are placed on a refugee ship bound for England. Their older sister Aurora is sent on a different evacuation route to the Soviet Union. Their parents, Carmen and Santos, remain behind, believing the separation will be temporary. Instead, they are arrested, imprisoned, and forced into labor camps, eventually disappearing into the machinery of war and becoming presumed dead.The sisters grow up in radically different worlds. In wartime Britain, Alicia and Araceli are fostered by a working-class family who offer safety, routine, and kindness, even as rationing, air raids, and cultural displacement shape their new lives. In the Soviet Union, Aurora endures hunger, isolation, and the brutal siege of Leningrad, struggling to survive while holding onto fading memories of home. Cut off from one another and from their parents, each sister adapts in her own way, carrying grief and resilience side by side.Years later, as World War II ends, a painstaking Red Cross tracing effort reveals the impossible: their parents are alive. Against overwhelming logistical, political, and emotional barriers, the family is slowly brought back together. After eight years of separation, they reunite in Mexico-no longer the family they once were, but bound by shared loss and survival. The reunion is joyful, fragile, and complicated, as parents and daughters confront how deeply war has changed them.The final section of Threads of Hope shifts to the author's own voice. Growing up unaware of much of this history, he later uncovers letters, photographs, and long-silenced stories that explain his family's guarded silences and lingering grief. This act of discovery becomes a process of understanding not only the past, but how trauma, kindness, and perseverance are passed from one generation to the next.Grounded in documented historical events and family records, with selected scenes reconstructed to convey lived experience, Threads of Hope introduces young readers to major twentieth-century conflicts through the eyes of children. Written for upper middle-grade readers and suitable for classroom use, the book emphasizes empathy, resilience, and the quiet power of ordinary people to sustain hope-even when war tears families and futures apart.…
