The Polish Woman, set in New York and in Poland, is a gripping post-Holocaust story with a fresh, highly suspenseful mystery twist. An attractive 29-year-old Polish woman suddenly appears before a New York Jewish family in 1967, claiming to be the long-lost daughter of a recently deceased family member. He was a Holocaust survivor who had hidden a daughter with a Catholic farm family in Poland to try to save her from the Nazis. Is the woman who she claims to be, or a scam artist intent on inheriting the dead man's fortune, or something else? The search for the woman's true identity takes a young male member of the family across the ocean with her in a detective-story-like search to movingly peel back her past, like onion layers. This is a story that will entrance readers who relish suspense, drama, little explored aspects of the Holocaust, and the many threads of human character, from greed and fear to personal romantic attachment and motivation.
