A heartfelt literary memoir historical novel. A triumphant story about a Jewish orphan growing in beautiful Vienna in the early twentieth century. She was raised by an affluent matron, a colleague of Theodor Herzl. To escape anti-Semitism, the matron, Anita Miller, cared for her orphhan children with a goal of sending them to Palestine – the safe undeveloped country ruled by the British. In her teen years, Reisel moved to Poland in search of her biological father. Her escape from indignity and loneliness in Poland, enabled by a fictitious marriage, bounded her to resign to an ambiguous relationship. Reisel possessed an inspiring gift of resourcefulness and wisdom that gave her the strength to deal with life in Europe and Palestine.
