Summary
Like Kesselman's Maggie Magalita , this piece deals with a young woman's coming to terms with her ethnic heritage -- in this case, her Jewish roots. Daisy is visiting her grandmother in the country.

Her grandmother offers her an emotional anchor and she teaches her about being an adult by offering gentle advice, good books, and good cooking and by telling Daisy of her life at Daisy's age, when she was in Auschwitz where she lost her two sisters.
