description: Eva's family fled to Finland just in time for the war with Russia before they fled again when Finland allied with Hitler. Later, a career in psychiatry, conversion to Catholicism and marriage to a gentile all seemed perversely to ratchet up Eva's stress levels. The legacy of her experience was a heart of ice that her family's love could not melt, a heart of stone that money, success and admiration made no lighter. In hope and desperation she flies to Dublin for a month on a Jesuitical retreat following the teachings of Ignatius of Loyola. This is the fascinating account of a Jewish girl coming to terms with herself and with God.
