"A compelling family history of extraordinary people out against some of the most frightening events of our century. I was thrilled and deeply moved."
Joseph Heller
"A vivid, heart-warming, family memoir. The plot and her characters move along in a fast-paced, tightly-woven narrative."
Publishers Weekly
A chronicle of five generations.
This remarkable true story begins in the Polish city of Krakow in 1890 and spans one hundred years and four continents. God blessed Lieba and the devout Jewish patriarch Daniel Baldinger with eleven children, and this richly textured portrait follows their lives down the decades, through the terrifying years of the Holocaust, to the present. Lives that personify the struggles and hopes of our century.
Mosaic is compelling storytelling at its best: from the fascinating detail of Polish-Jewish culture and the rivalries and dramas of family life, to its moving account of lives torn apart by war and persecution, this an extraordinary story of a family, and of one woman's journey to reclaim her heritage.
