At twenty-one, Karla Most finds Saxton Perry, the man of her dreams, and also discovers that her recently deceased mother was not the Holocaust survivor she purported herself to be, so Karla must now learn exactly who she is, and how to be that person. "Ann Z. Leventhal's Among the Survivors is a rarity: a novel that fuses a modern Cinderella tale to an intriguing Holocaust mystery. The result is a unique hybrid, the likes of which I've never read before."
-Wally Lamb, author of She's Come Undone and I'll Take You There

"When the ineluctable past catches up to the present, the stakes are raised, and Among the Survivors, mordantly witty from the first pages, becomes a disturbing and consequential story. Ann Z. Leventhal is an astute and surprising writer who has really hit her stride with this long-awaited second novel."
-Katharine Weber, author of True Confections and Triangle
