Description

"THE RUSTED TEA BOX poignantly captures the long-term effects of displacement, not just physically but emotionally. The trauma of exile-whether imposed by war or the threat of violence-is not something that can be easily left behind." --Earle Abrahamson PhD, NTF, PFHEA, FISSOTL

It's January 1939, two months after Kristallnacht (the Night of Broken Glass). Elsie (7) and Rose (5) are confused when their mother says she's managed to put them on "the list" which will guarantee a place for them on the Kindertransport to London. Destitute and heartbroken, she parts from them, promising to follow soon.

How scared and disoriented, dirty and tired the sisters arrive at Liverpool Station after days of travel, only to be separated.
When they're reunited and taken to America they're separated again and raised by two different families.
Elsie waits for Rose to turn eighteen so she can find her, but a distressing event in her own life leads her on a path that takes her away from her sister.

Many years later Rose's son is diagnosed with a genetic disorder and Elsie may be the only person with answers about his mother's past.

But will he get them in time?
