In Darkness and Light, (Paperback)

<p>Told across braided timelines, <em>In Darkness and Light</em> traces Tina's life from a fiercely hopeful Jewish girl in Romania to a woman shaped by the horror of war and loss and the pursuit of a better future.</p><p></p><p>As antisemitism tightens its grip on the cusp of World War II, young Tina is drawn to the promise of communism, joining an underground movement that seems to offer justice in an increasingly hostile world. When Tina and her family are deported to a desolate village in Transnistria, she endures unimaginable hardship, emerging changed, her convictions strengthened.</p><p></p><p>In the years that follow in a newly communist Romania, Tina enrolls in medical school. She meets Iulian, a brilliant writer and devoted party member whose blindness shapes how he sees the world and how he understands it. Their love is deep and real, grounded in a shared belief of an equitable society they are trying to build for their country and their young daughter. </p><p></p><p>But history intervenes. The corrupt and often violent methods of the regime begin to surface, and Tina is forced to confront a growing unease-about her country, her ideals, and herself. After a shocking loss, the only choice remaining is to seek a path forward. </p><p></p><p>At once a sweeping love story and a profound tragedy, <em>In Darkness and Light </em>explores the powerful allure of ideology and the difficult reckoning when ideals clash with the realities of life.</p><p></p>
