Summary: In 1945 Germany, Zofia Lederman, an eighteen-year-old Holocaust survivor, embarks on a desperate quest to find her missing brother, Abek. Haunted by a promise and surrounded by others seeking lost loved ones, Zofia navigates a world of secrets and shattered lives. As she delves deeper into the mystery, she encounters Miriam, searching for her twin, and Josef, a man cloaked in enigma. Each step brings her closer to the truth but also to the brink of despair. Can Zofia fulfill her vow in a landscape of loss, or will the answers she seeks break her completely?
