In 1942 twenty-one year old Eleanor Fitzgerald places her one year old daughter in the care of a close friend when she notices that people who practice Judaism are being taken away. Now it is 2012 and Eleanor is 91 years old and has recently been told she has cancer, what kind she and the doctors have no idea. When Eleanor thinks about it sometimes she believes this could be a good thing. Her life was miserable, she spent only one year with her daughter, spent three years in Auschwitz-Birkenue , and once the American soldiers finally liberated the her and the other surviving Jewish people, she never found her daughter. Eleanor has spent her whole life searching for Beth though, and isn't sure if she's ready to give up. (Rated mature because of violence, disease, and death that takes place throughout the story.) Takes place in present time and flashbacks.
