Item description from seller
Paperback. Her survival depended on a secret no one could discover.Eva's Secret is one man's tribute to his mother after discovering her diaries and his own Jewish identity after her death. It follows Eva Baum, born "Chawa Demb," from her impoverished childhood in a Jewish village in Poland through her harrowing survival of Nazi occupation, her astonishing rise as an entrepreneur in the post-war Polish and Parisian black markets, and finally, her transformation into an American millionaire's socialite wife.Set against the brutal realities of World War II, Eva's Secret is a powerful story of resilience, identity, and the small, defiant acts of hope that endure even in humanity's darkest hours. It is a testament to the strength of those who survive not by force, but by intelligence, adaptability, and the unbreakable will to live.Eva's Secret is a haunting and hopeful coming-of-age novel about the quiet courage it takes to survive when being yourself is deadly.

Honorable Mention, 2025 William Faulkner Literary Competition
From the author of My Mother's War comes a novel inspired by the diaries of the author's own mother, discovered after her death.
One secret diary revealed a lifetime of lies.
Walter Anderson is a proper Presbyterian who never questions his Scottish and German aristocratic roots. But three days after his mother's funeral, the discovery of a hidden drawer of scandalous lingerie and a cache of Yiddish diaries shatters his image of her as a paragon of propriety.
Determined to find the truth, Walter uncovers the dangerous past of Chawa Demb, a brilliant Polish Jew who becomes Eva and sheds her soul to ensure her son grows up in a world where his name is not a death sentence.
As her secrets emerge, Walter must decide if his identity is built on a foundation of love or a mountain of lies.
Eva’s Secret is a haunting historical mystery that explores the thin line between survival and maternal sacrifice.
Perfect for fans of emotional family dramas like The Nightingale, this story proves that the greatest miracle is sometimes the truth we hide from those we love.
This astonishing and unforgettable novel will keep readers engrossed until the final page.
"A character study that memorably chronicles one woman's enduring will to succeed." (Kirkus Reviews)
