Winter 1939: Danusha and her family are forced to flee their home when the Nazis invade Poland. All Anna ever wanted was a firstborn son. All she ever wanted was a mother who would love her like a firstborn son. It is only years later, when their neighbours gather in the living room to hear Anna's stories, that she finally realizes her mother was never a cold unknowable sea but a storm - wracked sky - sometimes bright, sometimes dark, and always watching over her.
