My Mother was a Bag Lady
Title:
My Mother was a Bag Lady
Behmoiras, Josiane
$14.00

When Dora and her eight-year-old daughter Josiane are arrested in France, they do not have the one franc coin that the law requires to prove they are not vagrants. To the authorities, the solution is simple. They are penniless, unwanted, itinerant and Jewish: they must be shipped to The Promised Land. But this fresh start in Israel comes at a price. Dora's hostile neighbours are soon persecuting her openly for her foreignness and eccentricity. As she tries to make their tiny asbestos hut a home, their few possessions begin to disappear. Ostracised from their community, Dora and her daughter face the world together. But soon, Josiane must come to terms with the truth about her mother: she is losing her grip on reality. Full of warmth, humour and heartbreak, My Mother was a Bag Lady is a portrait of an inspiring and unusual woman and a testament to a mother's selfless love....
