From journalist and essayist Carol Bergman comes a second book of intriguing novellas in "Water Baby." Each story evokes a strong protagonist in a historical period beginning with a 17th century landing in Plymouth to the Second World War. Bergman explores the imagined lives of a Puritan orphan girl, Houdini and Freud, the citizens of Upstate New York during the building of the Ashokan Reservoir, a young Jewish girl sold into slavery in 19th century Seattle and, in the flagship story, told from the point of view of a baby, the lives of Holocaust refugees soon after they arrive in America.
