Publisher's Summary:
Fourteen-year-old Lisa Jura was a musical prodigy who hoped to become a concert pianist. But when Hitler's armies advanced on prewar Vienna, Lisa's parents were forced to make a difficult decision.
Able to secure passage for only one of their three daughters through the Kindertransport, they chose to send gifted Lisa to London for safety. As she yearned to be reunited with her family while she lived in a home for refugee children on Willesden Lane, Lisa's music became a beacon of hope.
A memoir of courage, survival and the power of music to uplift the human spirit, this compelling tribute to one special young woman and the lives she touched will educate and inspire.
Based on the true story of 14-year-old girl Lisa Jura, who had to flee her home in Vienna and rebuild her life in London, the story brings home the reality of the Holocaust.
