"Deep in the Polish forest stands the chimney tree, a tree trunk hollowed out by lightning. This is where the beautiful Breindel Rutner, a young Jewish woman, loses her innocence and her first love. After her rabbi father finds out she has been secretly meeting a Christian, he forces her to marry a stranger. When she realizes that her new husband has messianic delusions, she flees to Warsaw. Just as she finds the life and love she desires, however, World War II tears apart her idyllic life. She must face the bombing of Warsaw, the Russian occupation of Eastern Poland, and Nazi torture. Refusing to be a victim of circumstance, the strong, independent Breindel must time and again take charge of her own fate.".

Often she must rely on others - some who save her, some who betray her - in her struggle to keep herself and her family safe. Weaving Breind
