The Night Travelers A Novel

Four generations of women experience love, loss, war, and hope from the rise of Nazism to the Cuban Revolution and finally, the fall of the Berlin Wall in this sweeping novel. In Berlin, 1931, Ally Keller, a young poet, gives birth to a mixed-race daughter, Lilith. As the Nazis rise to power, Ally must keep Lilith hidden to protect her, eventually setting in motion a dangerous plan to send her daughter across the ocean to safety. In Havana, 1958, Lilith, now an adult, marries a Cuban pilot. As the flames of revolution ignite, Lilith and her newborn daughter, Nadine, find themselves at a terrifying crossroads. Decades later, in Berlin, 1988, Nadine, a scientist, has spent her life avoiding her family's history. It is her daughter, Luna, who encourages Nadine to uncover the truth about the choices her mother and grandmother made for their survival, forcing Luna to come to terms with a shocking betrayal. Separated by time but united by sacrifice, the four women become living testaments to the power of motherly love.
