1938: 5 year old Samuel boards the last Kindertransport out of Austria with just his violin; 80 years later 7 year old Anita and her mother flee El Salvador for the US only to fall foul of the family separation policy. Their stories - past and present - intertwine as both search for home and a place to belong. A heartfelt novel from an author who has first-hand experience of working with refugees and those fleeing violence.
