Description
In 1945, Tasha Ancel emerges from Auschwitz, clutching the hands of two younger children. Her stomach growls with hunger as she takes in the desolate landscape. She can hardly believe they've survived. As she gazes back at the imposing camp, her heart begins to beat with hope for a future and the small children who cling to her. Torn from her mother's arms by an SS guard days before the gates opened, Tasha has only a lock of her mother's fiery hair to hold onto. Desperate to be reunited, she asks everyone she meets if they've seen a woman with flame-red hair. But in the chaotic aftermath of war, finding her feels like an impossible task. Tasha is given the chance to start anew in England's Lake District, but she must make a heartbreaking decision: stay in war-torn Europe and cling to hope that her mother is alive, or take a long journey across the sea towards an uncertain future.
