About the Book

With five gorgeous older sisters, what's an "ugly sister" to do? Pursue and win the handsomest man in town! But joy is short-lived as the Nazi death machine roars down to destroy everything they value and everyone they love. The sisters turn to politics, prayer and deception, tradition and dependency, even taking up arms. A beautiful sister poses as a German and she becomes the true UGLY SISTER . The youngest sister shows her inner beauty and strength, and, will not let anything-neither the monstrous butchers nor a raging God-keep her from her beloved. THE UGLY SISTER is a novel of the Holocaust that is different from any you have read before. The heroes and villains of this story are women just as they were in real life. Based on real people and events, it comes alive today, because we live in a world where anti-Semitism is again on the rise, and where women are still so far from realizing their human potential. In the tradition of The Book Thief and Sarah's Key, THE UGLY SISTER is best-selling author Gila Berkowitz's epic novel of family. It is about the love and faith that can bind a family tightly, and the envy and betrayal that can rip it apart.

She was a reporter for Reuters and the LA Times and has contributed fiction and non-fiction to magazines ranging from Good Housekeeping to Playboy.
