Nanette Blitz and John Konig are in their early twenties when they meet at a party in London in 1951. She, deeply wounded as the only survivor of her family's Bergen-Belsen concentration camp and a classmate of Anne Frank. He, also an orphan, had his ticket for the crossing to Brazil in his pocket. The encounter is a moment of happiness that neither of them thought possible. For almost two years, they wrote letters to each other until Nanette decided to follow John to São Paulo in 1953...

Based on the couple's historical correspondence, this book tells a story of renewed hope, courage and an extraordinary love. Last but not least, it focuses on the trauma that lives on in children and grandchildren.
