"Klara's Truth is an ambitious and heartfelt novel about the ways in which our adult lives are shaped by the secrets of our past. From Maine to New York to modern-day Warsaw, Susan Weissbach brings readers on a journey of self-discovery, newfound family, and acceptance."

Looking to escape her traumatic childhood, Klara Lieberman has been teaching anthropology at a small liberal arts college in Southern Maine. She's tried to put as much distance as possible between her and her mother, Bessie, in New York City. Then, an unexpected letter arrives from the Polish government offering reparations to Jewish families whose land was taken from them during World War II. Interested in the inheritance, Bessie finally admits that Klara's father died years ago and that he may have some living relatives in Poland who are also entitled to the money.

Books will be available for purchase in the Jewish Federation office.
