For Jews in communist Bucharest, Romania, life meant tight living conditions and constant scrutiny; each day was an episode in survival. Molnar's memoir of growing up during this period is written from a child's perspective but filtered through the author's adult eyes. All of the family members are vividly drawn as they fight for better lives for themselves and young Haya.
