As Lena Woodward, a wealthy 89 year old woman in Chicago
nears the end of her life she has one promise to keep. Finding Karolina’s
twins. After a long happy life Lena manages to finally face the Holocaust
memories she has tucked away since she was a young girl. Horrific details come
flooding back as Lena describes her life to Catherine and Liam, whom she has
hired to help her find these babies who would now be 72 years old. Lena’s only son
Arthur has filed an injunction to stop his mother from what he calls obsessive
bizarre behavior and senility. He wants complete guardianship before she throws
her entire fortune away on a make believe chase that he’d rather not
contemplate. Convinced the son does not want to jeopardize his inheritance
detective Liam and attorney Catherine, a young married couple who work as a
team and are expecting their first child, become deeply immersed in Lena’s story
and do everything in their power to find the truth. Author Ronald H. Balson
once again (#3) in what has become a series, starring extremely likable Liam
and Catherine, pulling the reader back in time through an unforgettable journey
that is well researched historically and heart wrenching. Highly recommend this
excellent novel about the triumphs and tragedies of family, love and honor during
one of history’s bleakest times.
