"Mama teaches her children about their grandmother, a matriarch who courageously brought her family from across the ocean to their new home. Oma is now elderly and in hospital, forgetting much of the past, but her legacy lives on through her grandchildren."--Back cover. While Oma (grandmother) lies in her hospital bed, Mama reminds them all of Omas courage in shepherding her family through war and across the ocean to safety. After Oma passes away, they cherish the memory of this remarkable woman, and the sacrifices she made to ensure that her children, and her grandchildren, would be free to dream.
