Sophie Cook was born in Hungary and came to the US in 1951 with her family. "The Voyage of the Bluebird: A Family Reunion in the Shadow of the Holocaust" is the story of her mother Maria's longed-for reunion with her two sisters in America (her "Bluebird of Happiness") seven years after the murder of her mother and aunt by Hungarian Nazis; the joys and disappointments of this reunion; and Maria's slow recovery from the devastation she had suffered.
