Summaries

Prep school student Daisy and her European-born grandmother Nana share the sad stories of their lives. Daisy tells Nana of her romance with young Ethan and problems in school because she's Jewish and Nana tells of her young years under the Nazis when she was sent to a ghetto and then to a concentration camp.—Anonymous

English-raised young gentleman Ethan is his New York prep school's lacrosse captain and girls' dream prince. Yet he takes a romantic interest in Daisy, a shy social misfit whose only hobby is reading, while confiding in and relaxing with her "nana" (grandma), a Nazi concentration-camp survivor. However, Ethan's patience in remaining platonic runs out and Daisy can't cope with insensitive pranks at school.—KGF Vissers
