60 years after his mother Sonia survived the Holocaust, Chicago Tribune jazz critic Howard Reich travels to Eastern Europe and back in a heartfelt attempt to learn why she remains suspicious of everyone around her to this very day. Thanks to the help of long-lost family members and astute New Orleans psychiatrists who work with young survivors of Hurricane Katrina, the mystery of Sonia's debilitating, late-onset Post traumatic Stress Disorder gradually comes into focus.
