|...| 'Doubt and insecurity had haunted Alice Miller ever since, as a child, she had grown old enough to ask pointed questions about her parents. Her father was famous for his work with ceramics and Alice has inherited his gift. However, her uncle has told her that her father was a Nazi and will not have him spoken of in his home. She knew the stories she heard about her father weren't true - but all the evidence seemed to be against her. And so it was with high hopes but a troubled heart that she undertook a pilgrimage to the past, a journey that took her almost halfway around the world and would end, she prayed desperately to believe, in an ultimate clearing away of shadows and an emergence into the purity of sunlight'.'
