Beskrivning

A brave girl's adventurous journey from Bolshevik Russia to the Zionists' settlement in the Holy Land. Sara, a Jewish 12-year-old in 1919 Russia, has spunk, independence, and a deep commitment to her heritage. Suddenly orphaned under mysterious circumstances, her home and shtetl destroyed, Sara begins a daring journey toward Budapest and her eventual destination, Palestine. On this amazing odyssey, Sara meets fascinating people of all sorts. Set against a backdrop of stormy historical events—pogroms, the influenza epidemic, the Bolshevik Revolution, and the struggle to create the State of Israel—this riveting young-adult novel is told with warmth, grace, and subtlety. Through the heart and mind of Sara, young readers will experience a world of connections between generations, genders, cultures, religions, and nationalities. Sara grows into a true follower of her father's wise advice: "Be bold and brave, but not foolhardy."

Mer om författaren

David L. Shapiro was encouraged by his family to write down the tales that have kept his children and grandchildren enthralled over the years. Sara's Journey is his first published novel, inspired by half-forgotten stories his father told him about Russia in the early 1900s. A veteran of World War II, now retired with his wife and living in Florida, Shapiro continues to pursue his writing.
