In this compelling audiobook, Mona Golabek shares the true story of her mother, Lisa Jura, a talented Jewish pianist who escapes Nazi-controlled Austria via the Kindertransport. Separated from her family, Lisa faces numerous challenges in London, including a difficult stay at the Willesden Lane Orphanage. There, her passion for music not only uplifts her own spirit but also inspires her fellow orphans, leading her to earn a scholarship at the Royal Academy of Music. This narrative highlights the transformative power of music and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
