Synopsis
My bubbe's house was filled with photos of all the children and grandchildren she would not count. The photo gallery was a mirror of the life cycle of the family ... The lost family, the family in Russia, was frozen in the moment of the only portrait we had. That photo stood by itself on a small window sill at the right corner of the dining room. To us, they were always a little girl, a little boy, and two young parents, all of them staring somberly at us. None of them were included in the count of not one, not two, of my grandmother's children and grandchildren. Why didn't my mother and her siblings talk about their lost sister in all the years of my childhood? How could my grandmother have tucked away the memory of the daughter who was her first child? How could she see that photo every day and yet never speak of Frayda? They, especially my grandmother, must have buried her deep within their hearts so that they could cope with the sorrow, the loss, and the guilt of being safe in America., In 1922, a young Jewish widow fled from the Russian Revolution, constant pogroms and civil war with four of her five children, leaving her oldest daughter, Frayda, in their village in the Ukraine. As Malka ran, she prayed that one day she would see her daughter again. In A Piece of Her Heart , Malka's granddaughter, Sissy Carpey, chronicles a real-life family saga that spans life in the shtetl, the Russian Revolution, and an eventual escape to America-retelling a compelling story of the separate lives their families lived in the United States and the Soviet Union during a turbulent time in history. Carpey shares the details of how in 1963, nearly a half century after she had left Russia, Malka received a letter that delivered shocking news-Frayda was alive in Uzbekistan. After two years of cutting through red tape on both sides of the world, mother and daughter were finally reunited on a May evening at Kennedy Airport in New York City. In this poignant narrative, a Jewish mother and her daughter prove that despite the insurmountable challenges that stood before them, the strength of their love would bring them back together as a family once again.
