Glass Hearts

This remarkable novel canters around Serene, a young girl whose father has vanished from their small Hungarian village just before World War I, leaving his beleaguered Jewish family to fend for themselves in a time of danger and disruption. Based on the memories of her eighty-seven-year-old aunt and other surviving relatives, Terri Paul has recreated a world for us, a world shimmering with magic. This is a book which, once read, will never be forgotten.

Terri Paul has a Ph.D. in English literature from Ohio State University and has been a social worker, college teacher and computer programmer.
