Description
In A Piece of Her Heart, Malka's granddaughter, Sissy Carpey, chronicles a real-life family saga that spans life in the shtetl, the Russian Revolution, and an eventual escape to America-retelling a compelling story of the separate lives their families lived in the United States and the Soviet Union during a turbulent time in history. Carpey shares the details of how in 1963, nearly a half century after she had left Russia, Malka received a letter that delivered shocking news-Frayda was alive in Uzbekistan. After two years of cutting through red tape on both sides of the world, mother and daughter were finally reunited on a May evening at Kennedy Airport in New York City.
In this poignant narrative, a Jewish mother and her daughter prove that despite the insurmountable challenges that stood before them, the strength of their love would bring them back together as a family once again.
