Description
We Share The Same Sky is an intimate portrait of family history that tells the stories of two young women—Hana as a refugee who remains one step ahead of the Nazis at every turn, and Rachael, her granddaughter, on a search to retrace her grandmother’s history.

Thank you so much for this series. It helped my heart grow ❤
The calm tone used by Rachel throughout the story plucked at each heartstring. Somehow you have opened yourself up to all of us and I felt as if you told this story as if just to me.
