Christ, author of "She Who Changes" and "Rebirth of the Goddess" "Days of Atonement" tells the story of a contemporary Jewish woman's search for her roots against the historical backdrop of the Greek Holocaust. While searching for her family's roots, Beka Freeman unearths never-revealed stories of struggles for human survival during the terrors of the Nazi occupation of Greece.
