Description
A Deeply Moving Family Saga
Set in early 20th century Baltimore, and reaching back into Tsarist Russian occupied
Lithuania, Ona's Tears is a remarkable tale of loss and resilience, based
on true stories. Aldona, a young woman reeling from tragedy and persecution,
assumes her sister Ona's identity. She flees from Kaunas, Lithuania, to Baltimore,
Maryland.
As "Annie," she must maintain a false marriage and work long hours in a garment
factory. Her struggle is lightened by her immigrant community and two B & O
Railroad workers closest to her.
This rich, emotional novel explores Annie's life, as well as the lives of her family
left behind an ocean away. It explores profound themes of identity, sacrifice, and
the enduring strength of women, reminiscent of Kristin Hannah's The Nightingale
or Min Jin Lee's Pachinko. It is a powerful story of resilience, unbreakable
family bonds, and the desperate hope for a new future under the shadow of an
unforgiving past.
