Bookroo's summary
In June 1941, the Rudomin family is torn from their home in Vilna, Poland, and exiled to Siberia as enemies of the state. Young Esther faces the harsh realities of life in a Soviet labor camp, where survival depends on resilience and the unyielding bond of family. As they toil in potato fields and mines, Esther's hope flickers in the bleak Siberian landscape. Can they endure the relentless struggle and find a future beyond the endless steppe?
