Summary

Mala Szorer had a happy childhood in the Polish village of Tarnogrod on the fringes of a deep pine forest-- until she was twelve, and the German invasion begins. The village became a ghetto; her family and friends were reduced to starvation. Removing her yellow star, Mala risked sneaking to the surrounding villages to barter for food. Coming back to see her loved ones rounded up for deportation, warned to stay away, she walks away from everything she holds dear to live by herself in the forest. Hiding not just from the Nazis but hostile villagers, Mala is followed by a cat who stays with her-- and seems to come to her rescue time and time again. -- adapted from front flap
