"Sara is barely six years old when her beloved father unexpectedly vanishes from her life. Her mother, Ruth, a dreamy and reluctant housewife, is now left with three small children to bring up, and the knowledge that she will somehow have to pick up the pieces, if she is to survive and fend for the family. But Sara takes up a vigil at the window of their dismal apartment, refusing to accept that her father won't be coming back.".
"To this bitter-sweet and moving tale of childhood and the loss of innocence, the best-selling author of Jephte's Daughter, Sotah, the Sacrifice of Tamar and The Ghost of Hannah Mendes, brings the added intensity of a personal memoir. This is Naomi Ragen at her best, her writing charged with a searing, emotional truth as she unravels a tale of childhood, betrayal and the unending resilience of family love."--BOOK JACKET.
