Inhaltsangabe

Tree of Hope chronicles Cara Wilson-Granat's extraordinary twenty-year friendship with Otto Frank, father of Anne Frank, featuring their long correspondence. As a young American girl growing up in the turbulent 1960s and 1970s, Cara began conversations with Otto through letters reflecting her chaotic teenage years and the violence in America during those decades. He validated her need to be heard and respected; he became her mentor, her wise "grandfather," as he was for many others worldwide. He truly lived his message. His responses helped her as she matured into a loving, trusting woman. In this fascinating and inspirational memoir we are invited into Cara's and Otto's personal and loving friendship-part of the far-reaching global audience of youth that Otto Frank inspired and mentored during his lifetime. It is an uplifting perspective on what is really important in our lives. Most of all-Hope.
