About The Forest of Vanishing Stars
After being taken from her German parents and raised in the wilderness, a young woman is left alone in eastern Europe in 1941. When she encounters Jewish refugees fleeing Nazi persecution, she teaches them how to survive in the forest. As they reshape her understanding of the world and her own past begins to surface, survival becomes both a physical and moral test.
