Bookroo's summary

Otto, a German teddy bear, witnesses the horrors of World War II after being separated from his Jewish owner, David. From the battlefield to America, Otto's journey is marked by loss and resilience. Years later, a chance encounter in an antique shop reunites him with Oskar, David's childhood friend. As Otto's story makes headlines, a phone call from David completes the circle, bringing the three friends together once more. Can they find peace after the shadows of war? Otto's tale is a poignant reminder of friendship's enduring power amidst history's darkest times.
