Three Stars in the Night Sky: A Refugee Family's Odyssey of Separation and Reunion

A 2018 Junior Library Guild selection At the age of 12, Gerda Katz fled Nazi Germany and came to America all by herself.

Decades before the label gained recognition, she became what's now known as an "unaccompanied minor." Gerda's story of family separation reflects the dislocating trauma, culture shock, and excruciating loneliness many unaccompanied minor immigrants experience. As Gerda becomes an American, she never stops longing to be reunited with her family.

Three Stars in the Night Sky illuminates the personal damage of racism in three countries -- Nazi Germany, the Dominican Republic, and the United States during the 1930s and 40s -- and the emotional devastation of a child coming to a new country alone.
