It is historical fiction which starts out in the earl 1900’s in a Jewish orphanage in New York. This book tells the story of one of the orphans, young Rachel Rabinowitz, who becomes part of an experimental course of X-ray treatments conducted by Dr. Mildred Solomon.
Then the book switches to the ’50’s and Rachel is now a nurse in the Old Hebrew’s Home. One of the elderly patients admitted is none other than Dr. Mildred Solomon.
How will the rest of the story unfold – forgiveness or revenge?
