Side by Side but Never Face to Face

Side by Side but Never Face to Face asks, Can new love be found in old age? Greta has been wrenched from a long and tightly-circled marriage to Manfred, an Austrian Holocaust survivor. Together they mourned the accidental death of a daughter and experienced a widening of spiritual horizons as they grieved. Shifting between Chicago, Austria, and rural Wisconsin, the present and decades past, these linked narratives unfold the story of Greta-daughter, wife, mother, widow, survivor, and seeker-with profound insight into the emotional conflicts, spiritual yearnings, and everyday experiences that connect us all.
