Her most recent work, The Forest of Vanishing Stars (2022) has been described as, “an evocative coming-of-age World War II story about a young woman who uses her knowledge of the wilderness to help Jewish refugees escape the Nazis—until a secret from her past threatens everything” by People magazine.
