- "1955 in New York City, the city of progress. But in the Perlman residence, the past is as close as the present.

But despite her efforts, Rachel is unable to live the "normal" life of an American housewife, not until she can shake the ghosts of her past and the tremendous guilt that weighs down on her: her own "crime" of survival"-- Provided by publisher.
