Women on the Move

Jennifer Rosner, Once We Were Home

This poignant novel, Once We Were Home, based on true stories about Jewish children saved by Christians challenges readers to consider identity, good intentions and unforeseen consequences. What happens when the war ends and children are wrenched from what they long considered their families? Or when the people who saved them refuse to let them go?

Jennifer Rosner, a finalist for two National Jewish Book awards, is the author of the novel The Yellow Bird Sings, the memoir If a Tree Falls: A Families Quest to Hear and be Heard, and the picture book, The Mitten Strings.
