During the war, her only goal was to survive...now, how can she live?

The year 1955, New York City, the city of progress. But in the Perlman residence, the past is as close as the present. Rachel Perlman, a child of Berlin and an artist bearing her mother's legacy, arrives in New York as part of the wave of Jewish Displaced persons who managed to survive the brutalities of the war. But despite her efforts, Rachel is unable to live the "normal" life of an American housewife, not until she can shake the ghosts of her past and the tremendous guilt that weighs down on her: the "crime" of survival.

I normally enjoy when the narrator changes voices with the characters but this was so annoying. I had to keep going because I had committed to finishing it for a book club. I love the character of Aaron but could not stand the way the narrator read him.

The narrator was distracting to the story.
