‘A book that will leave you changed’ ***** Goodreads Review

Elida Friedman was never supposed to have been born. Nazi law in the Kovno Ghetto forbade Jewish women from giving birth, leaving a young couple with an impossible choice.

To save their newborn’s life, Elida’s parents must smuggle their precious baby out of the ghetto into the arms of strangers. This lost little girl is forced to change countries, continents and even names, countless times to survive the Holocaust that will claim the lives of her parents. Throughout it all, though, she never gives up hope of one day finding a family of her own, and the chance to belong.

A moving, powerful chronicle of overcoming impossible odds, The Forbidden Daughter is the true story of one unforgettable girl and her will to survive.
