As a young German-Jewish art student at The Berlin Art Academy during Hitler's rise to power in 1938, Charlotte's first place prize is denied because she is a Jew, her enrollment annulled. After Kristallnacht, she is sent from Berlin into exile with her grandparents.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen Charlotte's grandmother leaps to her death, her Old World grandfather shocks her with the family secret, a legacy of female suicides.
