Miriam Ribeiro Taurines tells the story of the German Eva Levi, whose family was removed from their residence by the Nazis to be sent to a concentration camp. In the registration line, a man, Mr. Hans Schneider, invites the young and beautiful Eva to leave for Brazil and work in his residence. Her parents, seeing a chance for their daughter to survive the Nazi horror, beg her to go. In Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Eva is presented as Hans’s wife and the couple have a son. Eva, however, does not have a prosperous life: she is subjected to physical and psychological torture and forced to hide her Jewish origin.         Years later, in 1955, Eva receives a letter from her father, who had survived the concentration camp and was alive in Israel - inviting her to live in Jerusalem. It was the chance of a new life in the Promised Land, but how to escape a tyrant and powerful man?      She then asks help from Father Sasha Moransky, a Russian convert to Catholicism. On the journey to the Promised Land Eva, her son and Father Moransky meet Mohammed Ali Yasin who helps them on the mother and son’s journey for freedom. Together, they will learn about love, tolerance and humanity.

The work was launched at the 61st Porto Alegre Book Fair, on November 7, 2015. An English version is also available on Amazon. In an interview on her website and fanpage, the author explains why she discusses such controversial themes in her narrative: “I was always passionate about cinema, and in 2008 I started writing the script The Moon and the Two Stars. I needed to tell a story that would open people’s minds about intolerance and radicalism. The script was the embryo of the book “The moon and the two stars”.
