Russia, 1905: Thirteen-year-old Ruth dreams of growing up to marry the
boy next door and living peacefully ever after. But when he and her father
are forced to flee to America after the Bloody Sunday Massacre, Ruth and
the other female members of the family are left behind amid the violence
and chaos of revolutionary Russia. Overcoming violence and hunger with a
strength she never knew she possessed, Ruth resolves to do what it takes
to keep her mother and sister alive—whether it be work, beg or
steal.
Then she lands herself in a predicament that threatens to put her own
neck in a noose. This time she may not be able to keep them all safe, at
least not without sacrificing their love for her and all that makes life
worth living.
In this prequel to the award-winning novel, The Girl in the Triangle,
author, Joyana Peters, portrays a tight-knit family fighting to endure at
a precarious and crucial time in Jewish history. Join the countless
readers who can’t get enough of Ruth and her story.
