Metz embarks on a quest to understand her mother’s experiences during World War II and the formative years that were stolen by the war’s devastation.
Through meticulous research and emotional storytelling, Metz reveals the profound ways that war and displacement shaped her mother’s life and, by extension, her own family’s history.

By piecing together fragmented memories, historical records, and family secrets, Metz constructs a powerful narrative about what it means to inherit trauma and the healing potential of understanding our parents’ untold stories.
