BENT BRANCHES is a moving, often heartbreaking tale spanning almost seventy years in the life of a family. It portrays the trials and triumphs of its family members, especially those of mother and daughter, as they build their lives in the light and shadow of cataclysmic events. It begins with a visit to the past and stays there, for the first half; moving through Soviet-occupied Poland, to the Warsaw Ghetto, back to pre-war Poland, then forward to post-war Paris and the American-occupied zone in Germany. It spends a few moments in Eastern Europe during the Cold War and 1950s Australia, then moves on to Canada, where it remains, except for a sojourn to the Dead Sea. At the end of the millennium this compelling saga takes a final twist.
