Anya Rosen and her family have left their home in Odessa for Shanghai, believing that China will be a safe haven from Hitler''s forces. At first, Anya''s life in the Jewish Quarter of Shanghai is privileged and relatively carefree: she has crushes on boys, fights with her mother, and longs to defy expectations just like her hero, Amelia Earhart. Then Anya finds a baby-a newborn abandoned on the street. Amelia Earhart goes missing. And it becomes dangerously clear that no place is safe-not for Jewish families like the Rosens, not for Shanghai''s poor, not for adventurous women pilots. Based on a true story, Anya''s War by Andrea Alban is a rich, transcendent novel about a little-known time in Holocaust history.
