Maria and Sarah, accomplished women, learn of their mothers profound friendship amid the Polish Holocaust through Esther's diary. The diary compels Apolonia to disclose her inadvertent betrayal that led to Esther's capture by Nazi forces.

Two successful, modern day American women, Maria and Sarah, are brought together by a secret connection they never knew they had; their mothers, Apolonia, a Christian, and Esther, a Jew, were best friends during the Polish Holocaust. A recently bequeathed diary from Esther to her daughter Sarah illuminates events of a dark past that lead Apolonia to confess to her daughter, Maria, a lifetime of self-blame and guilt for an unintended betrayal that led to her best friend's capture by the Nazis.—Bright Shining City Productions
