Two sisters are sent to Sweden to escape persecution of Jews in Nazi Germany. Stephie, the older, has a hard time adjusting. Her strict foster mother expects her to accept the local Pentecostal Christian tradition, and classmates taunt her for being foreign. Almost worse, her younger sister is adapting so easily to their new life that she seems to be forgetting their family and where they come from. The girls’ story continues in two sequels as they grow up.
