Remember This Dream

Meticulously researched history is woven into an extraordinary family saga. 1911, a time of continuing upheaval for Polish Jews, an era of exodus, when the poor and proud seek new lands of promise across vast seas...bold dreams are followed toward a brighter future. The turbulence of the times separate sisters Anna and Dvoyra. On a ship teeming with fellow immigrants bound for America, Anna journeys with her children to join her husband in Baltimore only to have her highest hopes dashed and her deepest passions aroused. Dvoyra, who longs to join Anna in America, is forced to remain in Poland with her family. For nearly half a century and half a world apart, clinging to the dream that someday they will be reunited, both families summon astonishing courage in the face of great adversity, Anna in the grip of relentless poverty, and Dvoyra amid the horrors of anti-Semitism, war and captivity. Ultimately their most heartfelt dreams are fulfilled in the lives of their children.
