In the fall of 1944, approximately one thousand refugees from liberated Italy were brought to a refugee shelter in Oswego, New York; Bat-Ami has used this little-known camp as the basis for a thought-provoking novel. Two story lines intertwine--that of fifteen-year-old Yugoslav refugee Adam and fifteen-year-old Oswego native Christine--in a timely story that probes the refugee issue with sensitivity and depth.
