Bookroo's summary

Julie Weiss's life shatters as war erupts, forcing her to flee Nazi Austria. In New York, she must navigate a new world with unfamiliar relatives. Can she find hope amidst the chaos and rebuild her life? Her journey from privilege to survival is a poignant tale of resilience and courage.

From the publisher

For the first time, a Dear America story is being told in two parts – complete in one volume! Julie Weiss’s world is suddenly torn apart by a war that will forever change the face of humanity. Her life as a privileged Jewish girl quickly becomes one of humiliation and terror. In part two, Julie has left Nazi Austria for New York, where she begins a new life with her extended family who she has never met.
