In the Kovno Ghetto in Lithuania, Nazi law forbade Jewish women from giving birth. Yet despite the fear of death, Dr. Jonah Friedman and his wife Tzila, choose to bring a daughter into the world, a little girl they name Elida - meaning non-birth in Hebrew. The Friedmans smuggle the baby out of the ghetto when Elida was only three months old. Despite her circumstances, Elida grows up, changing families, countries, continents, and even names, countless times. In her lifelong pursuit to find love and belonging, she works to rebuild her identity and triumph over her terrible circumstances.
