Adaptation of the stage play ""A Shayna Maidel"" by Barbara Lebow. She fled Poland with her father before Hitler's invasion... her mother and older sister weren't as lucky. Fifteen years later, Rayzel Weiss is Rose White — a career girl with her own apartment and a promising future at the largest department store in Manhattan. Beautiful, successful and happy, she keeps her family's tragic past in a scrapbook hidden in her closet... until news comes that her long-lost sister somehow survived the ravages of World War II and is on her way to America. But when Lusia arrives, the reunion is haunted by memories of her struggle to survive... and an unspoken, unforgivable secret she shares with her father. As Rose struggles to balance her obligation to her sister with her dreams for the future, she is forced to confront the truth about her life and her family... and the past that she's managed to forget.
