It is May 2014, and forty-nine-year-old archaeology professor Klara Lieberman has just received a letter from her estranged mother that will dramatically change her life. Her long-ago-disappeared father, she learns--the man about whom she has been desperate for information since she was a child--is dead, and has been for a while. But now the Polish government is giving financial reparations for land it stole from its Jewish citizen during WWII, and her mother wants the payout. Klara has little iterest inthemoney--but she flies to Warsaw, determined to find answers about her father. In Poland, Klara begins to piece together her father's, and her own, story. She also connects with extended family, begins a romantic relationship, and discovers her calling: repairing the hundreds of fogotten, pre-War Jewish cemeteries in Poland. Along the way, she becomes a more integrated, embodied, and interpersonally connected individual--one with the tools to make peace with her past and, for the first time in her life, build purposefully toward a bigger future.
