This is the story of what might have happened if the boy in hiding survived to become a man.<BR><BR>Peter arrives in America, the land of self-creation; he flourishes in business, marries, and raises a family. He thrives in the present, plans for the future, and has no past. But when <I>The Diary of a Young Girl</I> is published to worldwide acclaim and gives rise to bitter infighting, he realizes the cost of forgetting.<BR><BR>Based on extensive research of Peter van Pels and the strange and disturbing life Anne Frank's diary took on after her death, this is a novel about the memory of death, the death of memory, and the inescapability of the past.
