Description
In the middle of the twentieth century in Eastern Europe, a young girl dreams of adventures near and far. One day, a huge wall appears that separates East from West, and dreamer from dreams. No ladder is high enough, no tunnel deep enough to get past that wall. But then a crack appears in the wall, and the girl (now a woman) knows she has the chance to follow her dreams again.

Editorial Reviews
"... the poignant longing for freedom shines through."
"The multimedia illustrations are rich and layered in both concept and construction. Their handcrafted appearance—with visible brush strokes, scratchings that cut through paint to show the canvas, and glued-on feathers, fabrics and cut-outs of embroidered flowers—visually conveys something of the depth and texture of lived experience."
Amanda Lastoria
