註釋The year is 1956. The people of a small nation in Central Europe are rebelling against their government to demand human rights; and for a few days, the glimmer of hope for real freedom in democracy blooms in Hungary. But, as the whole world watches in disbelief, Soviet tanks crush those who reject communism. Thousands die, the destruction is tremendous. In the aftermath, more then 200,000 Hungarians flee their country to escape retaliation. Erika Molnar, a not yet sixteen Jewish schoolgirl is the main character in this novel. Orphaned during the 1944 Holocaust, she is raised as Christian by one of her father's employees. When her 'grandfather' is killed in the revolution, she retaliates with a Molotov cocktail. Now she must escape from the turmoil and run for her life, but in the refugee camps of Austria she comes into another world that is just as dangerous for a young and naive teenager. It is the story of Erika and Ken Williams, an American Red Cross worker; a romantic match of a misled communist with a moderate Catholic; the dreams of the deprived combined with the materialist's ideals. But it is also the story of a select group of suddenly 'free' men and women, who find a rare opportunity in their lives to change their names, ages, religions, and even marital status, to alter their past, to suit their present, and modify their future; to change everything but their faces.
