The plum tree. [large print] Ellen Marie Wiseman.
"Bloom where you're planted," is the advice Christine Bolz receives from her beloved Oma. But seventeen year old domestic Christine knows there is a whole world waiting beyond her small German village. It's a world she's begun to glimpse through Isaac Bauerman, the cultured son of the wealthy Jewish family she works for. Yet the future she and Isaac dream of sharing faces greater challenges than their difference in stations. In the fall of 1938, Germany is changing rapidly under Hitler's regime. Anti-Jewish posters are everywhere, and a new law forbids Christine from returning to her job and from having any relationship with Isaac.
