Running out of the books I bought with my Mother's Day gift card. I found some real treasures though and "The Seamstress" by Sara Tuvel Bernstein is a winner. This is a true story that was co-authored by Louise Loots Thornton and Marlene Bernstein Samuels. Sara's life started in Transylvania and the majority of this novel took place during World War II. Sara was a Jew who made a pretty good living as a seamstress but as all Jews in any proximity of Germany, she had a horrible story to tell. This story was written in the 1980's but sat on a shelf in the author's home without a publisher to put it into print. Finally, after many years and Sara's death, her daughter found someone to publish it. It's a must read!
