But during the 1930s and 1940s, Elaine was a young Jewish girl living with her family in Berlin in constant risk and danger, and Amalia grew up in a small northern Italian village surrounded by the loss and devastation of war. In the face of these overwhelming challenges, they shared a hope that one day they would come to America, and realize their dreams. This story is the depiction of these journeys and the discovery of their parallel stories sixty years later. Circles in Time celebrates the lives of all people who come to America in search of their dreams.
