Karolina's Twins

Lena Woodward, an elderly woman, enlists the help of lawyer Catherine Lockhart and private investigator Liam Taggart to appraise the story of her harrowing past in Nazi-occupied Poland. At the same time, Lena’s son, Arthur, brings a hefty lawsuit against her under the pretense of securing her estate—and independence—for his own purposes. Where these stories intersect is Lena’s account of her life in war-torn Poland and her sisterhood with a childhood friend named Karolina. Lena and Karolina struggled to live through the atrocity of the Holocaust and, at the same time, harbored a courageous yet mysterious secret of maternity that has troubled Lena throughout her adult life. In telling her story to Catherine and Liam, Lena not only exposes the realities of overcoming the horrors of the Holocaust, she also comes to terms with her own connection to her dark past.

As Lena recounts her story, Catherine also recognizes the unwavering importance of family as she prepares for the arrival of her unborn child. Through this association and many more, both Lena and Catherine begin to cherish the dogged ties that bind not only families and children, but the entirety of mankind.

Karolina’s Twins is a tale of survival, love, and resilience in more ways than one.
