Mirel’s Daughter is the story of a young Jewish girl’s remarkable escape from the Ukraine to America after the Russian Revolution.  Sonia Turbowskia was nearly ten years old when her pleasant childhood in the village of Brusilov was shattered by the civil war that raged among Bosheviks, Ukrainian Nationalists, and die-hard Tsarists. The latter two groups saw the Jews of the Ukraine as fair game for plunder and murder.

With her widowed mother, Mirel, and her sister Raizel, Sonia hides in the attic of their home as the first attack on their Jewish neighborhood unfolds on the street below.  Thus begins Sonia’s harrowing tale of love and loss, despair and, finally, hope.
