Esther Hautzig recalls her childhood when her family, of Jewish origin, is deported to Siberia. In that frozen and desolate landscape, the girl and her loved ones endure the cold, hunger, and distance from their former life, while trying to preserve their dignity and the bonds that keep them together. The author portrays the daily struggle to survive in exile and the slow learning of a girl who grows up between loss and hope.
