Dear Sandra

Dear Sandra is a horror-mystery that takes place in a small New England coastal city in the year 1976. It traces the lives of several people who were mysteriously connected during the Holocaust, over 30 years earlier. Their story is told through memories, flashbacks, a diary and other writings from the past, and especially through some old letters to Sandra. The novel is based on careful historical research, and while the characters and events are fictional, the historical references are accurate and astutely paced. As the plot unfolds, the reader gradually discovers more and more about the relevance of these people, and their story, to an understanding of the causes of the historical Holocaust. In this way, the novel becomes a catalyst, encouraging readers to think deeply about themselves within the context of perhaps the most misguided ethical catastrophe in the history of mankind, and helps them to formulate meaningful questions to ask about real ethical dilemmas in their own lives.
