They Went Left is the impossibly heartbreaking and also uplifting story of Zofia Lederman, a Polish concentration camp survivor trying her best to keep the promise she made to her younger brother to reunite after the end of World War II. Zofia's search takes her to a displaced persons camp in Germany, where she encounters others trying to put their lives back together after unimaginable tragedies. This is historical fiction, a mystery, and a family saga all rolled up into one incredible story!  (Pennsylvania Young Reader’s Choice Award 2021-2022)
