Summary
  • "In this book I continue the story of my late mother's life, tying up some loose ends and filling in inadvertent gaps in the narrative. Memories are fickle and evanescent, often no more substantial than last night's dream. They cannot be summoned up at will to reveal themselves and often require a period of incubation before to begin to coalesce. As was the case in The Girl From Copenhagen, I have in this sequel used pictures in my mother's photo albums to rekindle half-forgotten memories. I was surprised when I wrote this book by how many significant events in my mother's life that I had failed to record. But such is the nature of memory."--Back cover
  • The author's follow-up to his first memoir of his mother, The girl from Copenhagen, which told the story of his mother's life as a Danish-Jewish immigrant to the United States after the war. The focus of the book is her life after her arrival and her relationship with her son
