The Between the Lines book discussion group will read "Shadows of Berlin" by David R. Gilham. Books for this discussion can be picked up at the Dyer-Schererville branch a month prior to the event.
1955, New York City. In the Perlman residence, the past is as close as the present. Rachel Perlman, a child of Berlin and an artist bearing her mother's legacy, arrives in New York as part of the wave of Jewish Displaced persons who managed to survive the brutalities of the war. Despite her efforts, Rachel is unable to live the "normal" life of an American housewife. She needs to shake the ghosts of her past and the tremendous guilt that weighs down on her: her own "crime" of survival".
