Ticket to Life - A Novel

Berlin. The late 1930s. Ida Jacobson's parents face a heartrending decision: send their young daughter alone to England, where they don't know a soul, or let this rare opportunity to get her to a safe haven slip through their fingers?

Ida arrives in England under an assumed name, and for six years, lives in constant fear of her deception being discovered. She develops a close relationship with her host family, but can the relationship stand the test of Ida's desperate deceit? When her "grandfather," Albert Goldberg, is accused of treason, Ida is truly pained. How could anyone think a Jew would collaborate with the Nazis?

Ticket to Life takes you on a gripping, unforgettable journey between Germany and England, and between despair and hope. This book joins Esther Toker's other popular titles: Hostage; Family Fraud; Common Denominator, and A Matter of Trust.
