Overview
A perilous journey through the unthinkable. A riveting story of hope and survival. Can their faith shield them against unbridled hatred? August, 1942. When they realize the danger of remaining under the rule of the Nazi occupation, Dr. Leon Schmelzer, his wife Donya, and their baby daughter attempt to flee Romania under the cover of darkness. Joining a dozen other brave souls, they hastily board a small ship, leaving behind family, friends, and the only life they ever knew--for a slim chance at survival. But their path to freedom does not sail over smooth waters. As endless waves threaten to drown what little hope they have, the desperate refugees find that the hatred in the hearts of men is more terrifying than any force of nature. And when they are shipwrecked and taken captive in a foreign land, Leon's own faith and resolve are put to the ultimate test. Can he find the courage and resourcefulness to protect his wife and only daughter?

Author Information
Margalit Ganor, PhD, was born just two months prior to the onset of World War 2, making her a ""baby Holocaust survivor."" In her book The Light Through The Storm, Ganor describes two parallel journeys: Her parents' brave escape with her from the horrors of war, and her own journey as an author, traveling back to her repressed past-which she penned for the sake of the next generations. Ganor holds a PhD from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, served for twenty-five years as department head at the OU Israel, and was a member of an EU education committee. Today she serves as head of education and member of the executive committee of the ""Next Generation of Holocaust and Heroism Legacy"" association. Ganor lives in Israel and was married to the late Professor Eli Ganor for fifty years. They have three daughters and four grandchildren. Ann Richardson is an Earphones-winning narrator who studied broadcast journalism and Spanish at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln. Years later, the desire to take up a creative yet productive career lead her to narrating audiobooks and founding Great Plains Audiobooks, an audiobook publishing company focusing on bringing Midwestern literature to audio.
