Scalded Remnant

World War II has left Europe shattered. Entire towns and villages have been decimated. A generation of young men has fallen. All that remains of millions of Jews are ashes. Only a remnant has survived. Marta Lowenthal and her young ward Jakob count themselves among that remnant. As Marta desperately searches for Jakob’s mother, Liora, she also seeks a home, a place in the world. Marta had hoped that she might rebuild in her native Germany, but she soon discovers that some attitudes haven’t changed. Now, she searches for justice. The “Victorious Allies” are promising justice through the Nuremberg Trials but will that be enough? In this sequel to Slow Boil, follow 15-year-old Marta Lowenthal as she struggles to put the pieces of her life back together in the aftermath of World War II.
