A Jewish doctor in WWII shanghai must protect his family and community in this "amazing novel" of terror, love, and resilience in the face of danger (Huffington Post).

On November 9, 1938, the Nazis unleash a night of terror for Jews all across Germany. Meanwhile, the Japanese Imperial Army rampages through China and tightens its stranglehold on Shanghai, a city that becomes the last haven for thousands of desperate European Jews -- including the renowned surgeon Dr. Franz Adler and his daughter.

At a refugee hospital, Franz meets an enigmatic nurse, Soon Yi "Sunny" Mah. The chemistry between them is intense and immediate, but her life is soon shattered by the deadly chaos of war. In the aftermath of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, danger escalates for Shanghai's Jews, and Franz must do everything in his power to protect the refugee hospital and his family.

The Far Side of the Sky focuses on a short but extraordinary period of Chinese, Japanese, and Jewish history when cultures converged and heroic sacrifices were part of the everyday quest for survival.
