Sharon Hart-Green's novel, Come Back for Me, is not only about Holocaust trauma across the generations. It is also a story about finding freedom and love. The author told me, “I think that Israel plays a redemptive role in the novel, not in the religious sense of the word, but in the sense of it being a pivotal source of Jewish self-reliance and creativity. It is the place in the novel where the key characters find a community where they can live without fear and self-denial—which also frees them to find love.”
